You can see it there in the usually-entertaining Accuweather graphic: There’s no Snowmageddon coming next winter. Which means no city paralyzed and everyone drunk. Which means no three-day-long hookups with someone who just meant to stop by before three feet came down. Which means no extended house parties, benders fueled by coffee and Bailey’s and [...]

After much hub-bub and toe-dipping, Sam Katz came out this morning, saw his own shadow, and announced that he won’t be running for Mayor… in the Democratic primary. Wait, so does that mean he’ll run as a Republican, like he did in ’99 and ’03? When pressed, all he’d say is that he won’t be [...]

And you thought taxis were bad. 86-year-old Margaret Lazor, who drove down the wrong side of 95 last week (in the fast lane), will face minor, yep minor, traffic violations.

Now I have to find this movie and watch [...]

That crazy accident yesterday that blocked off Kelly Drive most of the morning was one of our dear friends!  He flipped his car completely over, most likely due to slippery roads, wet leaves and super-agro Friday morning drivers. Amazingly, he walked away just fine, in fact that’s him in the red jacket. This is a [...]
