Cesar, I meant to say this morning (before I ran off to work) that your bird pictures are absolutely exquisite.

So here is maybe a funny story, or at least funny weird. It involves the numbers 616. For the past few years, I have seen these numbers everywhere:
When I'm running on a treadmill, if I happen to look down at the time elapsed, it says 6:16, or 26:16, or something. But always with the 6:16. I have to attend a meeting. The building number is 616. I go to Walgreens and buy a protein shake and a pack of gum. Price? '$6.16. The train I take to see Phil on Long Island on Fridays has a new departure time: 6:16 PM. I play this video game with a countdown timer that stops when you complete a level. It constantly stops at 6:16. There are so many other examples. It is constant. Phil naturally thinks I am crazy and he is probably right.
I don't believe in supernatural stuff, but this has had me slightly freaked out, as if the universe is trying to tell me something. Well the universe needs to be freaking clearer with its messages.
Is 616 good? Do I use those as lottery numbers? Is it a warning of my Imminent doom? Or is this all the warped manifestation of a lunatic's mind? Phil feels it is the later.
But of course today is 6/16/2016.
Do you know how certain I was that I was going to drop dead at 6:16 today?
At that time, I was in the subway station waiting for the R train to zip me home. It came barreling into the station at exactly 6:16. I am not even kidding. I almost didn't get on it, but the R train's nickname is "the rarely", so who knows when another would show up? But I was scoping that train for shady characters all the way home.
Well nothing happened, but the day's not over yet, and hopefully I will survive until midnight, but in case the 6/16 gets me, it's been nice knowing you all!
PS - although this is a 100% true story, I'm slightly kidding about being too worried about it. But it really is pretty weird.

That is a little freaky. I would say buy a lotto ticket but you would need more numbers than 616.

then you must be 2/3rds of the way to he.., You know the rest. Apparently it's not to late to fix it and you are being warned. 
Kind of like your own personal "It's a Wonderful Life".

Everyone thinks it is going to be terrible, but I am holding out that it may be a lot of fun. I will probably be proven wrong - I usually am. But the director is Paul Feig - who directed Bridesmaids, Spy, The Heat, and the tv show Freaks and Geeks. He is very smart and knows comedy. However, if he was micromanaged by the studio, which is common, he may have turned in a dud. But still, I have hope.

Yeah I agree. In the meantime, I made it home tonight, but I seriously almost got trampled to death as I tried to swim upstream from an exiting and very drunk (I know, I should talk) concert crowd (Mumford & Sons) that had just ended at a stadium right outside my apartment (terrible pics below, but you get the idea). Anyway, just an hour and 9 minutes of 6/16/16 are left, so hopefully all will be well.

I'm still a tad melancholy over my events of yesterday and the following is my Rant. But even when you're melancholy some spins are just wrong.
I'm still feeling bad about the little tike and his family this week at Disney. Being from the Midwest I have zero knowledge of where to anticipate gators. But at Disney where I've gone since it opened no way did Disney in my lifetime make me aware of my surroundings for gators, the opposite actually. I saw Goofy skiing in the Lake, The Poly had a Wave pool in the lake. River Country, the first Water Park was partially in the lake area, partly man made. This decade while now ended Disney was Still hosting Ironman Triathlons and ones specifically for children. My kids walked the beach area by the water when they were small kicking sand and walking barefoot at the shoreline. No they didn't swim in the lake but they sure walked the lake beach area. They've fished in the fishing hole at POR. My only guess is there might have been once much better gator patrol/control. But does this scream warning gators????

The mission of IronKids is to inspire and motivate youth through the sport to lead an active, positive, and healthy lifestyle.IronKids Orlando will take place at Walt Disney World’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds, with those in the senior division entering the water at 7 a.m. and the intermediate and junior divisions following. The triathlon for kids will have participants swim in Bay Lake, followed by a bike and run on closed roads throughout the Fort Wilderness campgrounds. A portion of the run course will pass through the petting zoo at Tri-Circle-D Ranch, which ts, potbellied pigs and more.features horses, ponies, goats
Distances for the IronKids Triathlon will vary depending on the age of participants:
– Ages 6 to 8: 50-yard swim, 2-mile bike and 500-yard run
– Ages 9 to 11: 150-yard swim, 4-mile bike and 1-mile run
– Ages 12 to 15: 300-yard swim, 8-mile bike and 2-mile run
And now Disney has the beaches closed, rightfully but what are they building at the expanded Wilderness Lodge DVC expansion then?
Some of those Units are dang close to the shore of Bay Lake.
And to conclude my rant about the claims I've heard this has never happened before.

So I'm thinking Disney over the decades has sent some mixed messages about their bodies of water.
Rant over.

It was so much worse than that. It's a long road that leads to the stadium and my apartment building is right across from it. They closed traffic on the road so the concert goers could walk back to the subway (or cab areas). At one point, it was so sardines in a can that I felt like I was in WDW. Oh wait a minute. I guess that's a good thing....? Now I'm confused.
