I have developed a head cold and my sd card reader has not arrived with my suitcase yet. My plans for the next couple of posts I want to do involve photographs, which requires a way to transfer said photos to my computer. Boo and bullfrogs!

I just discovered the BSC Scrapbook at uandme4bsc and it is hilarious.

Also, I was reading Abby’s Twin today and she said that Long Island was half an hour from New York City. This confused me greatly. Brooklyn and Queens are, technically, ON Long Island. Even if by “New York City” Ann/the ghostwriter meant “Manhattan” it does not take half an hour to get from Queens or Brooklyn to Manhattan, unless traffic is really terrible. Long Island is really, really, really big. It is wider than Connecticut. So saying that “Long Island” is half an hour from New York is crazy, because driving from say, Southampton to New York City would take a hell of a lot longer than one half of an hour. Unless you had a teleporter. I suppose that Abby meant that where she lived on Long Island was half an hour from New York City, but still. Being precise matters when it comes to geography.

Like how Abby’s mom took classes at the Culinary Institute of America, which is in Hyde Park. I have been there, and it took a really long time to drive there from the immediate NYC burbs. Like 2 hours. Just because they are both in New York State does not mean that somewhere on Long Island is close to Hyde Park.
