Cuomo Offers Hope for MotoristsFor those worried about long gas lines and shortages, elected officials in New York promised on Saturday morning that help is on the way, at least in that state.
More than 8 million gallons of gas have been delivered to service stations, with 28 million more gallons on the way, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said.
Additionally, the military is trucking in 12 million gallons and will set up distribution centers starting later on Saturday.
The fuel will be free, but drivers will be limited to 10 gallons.
“Do not panic” Mr. Cuomo said. “We did have a shortage in fuel delivery,” he said. “That situation has been remedied.”

Something doesn't make sense. Surely it was running through the F tunnel at the end of last week. So why should the F notification mention M/E train stops?

Oh, that notice is for the M train. M, F, B and D are grouped together as far as service changes.

argh argh argh, why are they closing those stations again? My commute was finally down to a reasonable 1.5 hrs.
― Knut Horowitz, Able-Bodied Investment Banker and Ladies Man (Hurting 2), Sunday, 4 November 2012 17:59 (eleven years ago) link
ah ok wait, n/m, they were closed all along. But I assume they didn't mean to link those to the F, cuz they're not F stops.

I took the F uptown this morning - it was PACKED.
even during normal times like 2 downtown Fs come for every uptown F - today it was more like 4 downtown Fs for every uptown F.

There is some kind of Zen Koan about "If the G train is delayed, does it require a service advisory?"

Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.
Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring.
The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!"
"Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless the G train has already passed?"

Not exactly on topic but doesn't belong in quiddities and agonies either. This happened right in front of my building this morning. Two people mowed down, and someone was killed the same way there earlier this year.

xpost Neighborhood guy told me the woman in the hospital also died, but weirdly there's no word of that in the news.
What happened was the two people had halfway crossed and were standing in the 'island' in the middle of Borinquen (not a raised island but defined only by yellow lines) and the hit-and-run guy was coming fast toward Union and decided to pass someone by veering into said 'island', knocked both people into the bridge-bound lane where they were struck by the second vehicle (whose driver didn't flee the scene).
Since the incident there are suddenly cop cars on my block just hangin' out watching traffic for the first time in my 9 year experience of this block. Usually parked in the 'island' which I guess sort of makes it a real island, grim lol.
