back to the regular life highlighted by the lights of New Jersey oil refineries that I see out this window.

A/C in this apartment, it turns out, is broken, now that we tried to use it for the first time. Service takes 4 days to come – maybe they’ll fix it tomorrow. Or maybe they’ll just shrug and blame it on shoddy construction and lack of insulation of any kind between here and the hot roof. If this developer could take a short cut, he did. This ain’t Switzerland. This is why we need government regulation and oversight.

3 more units in this building are on the market – no wonder, after they’ve seen what we paid for this one. They are the smart ones.
