Apple Pay adoption has come quickly and easily, whereas Google Wallet remains marginally used, and Softcard – backed by major U.S. carriers – similarly lacks a large profile. But what happens when those latter options combine?

Mostly I prefer taking photos that are devoid of people, unless I need them to set scale or play off of lines & shapes in the image.
A tricky preference/maneuver in a city such as New York, though obviously not impossible.

This cycle almost put me in the grave. As I hadn't known about how over time side effects become cumulative.
Not only that, what had happened was during Cycle # 3 on July 17th, the Neulasta Device had malfunctioned while I was at home. This medical device would be affixed to my upper arm at the end of each treatment, and it helped to stimulate the production of white blood cells, reducing the risk of infection. Meds from the device would be administered automatically 27-hours following treatment
On the evening of July 17th I began to notice how the device was detaching from my arm and required tape reinforcement. It activated July 18th though I experienced none of the typical side effects, suggesting improper medication delivery. You need to be your own advocate when you go through something like this, and you need to read everything, and stay on top of EVERY SINGLE THING.
As a result of the malfunction, my white blood cell (WBC) counts plummeted, and the following week I required two separate injections to bring them back up. On the morning of August 7th, prior to my scheduled 4th treatment, it was confirmed how my WBC counts were almost at their maximum counts.
I recalled how during my first Kemosabe session, a specific Infusion Nurse had secured the Neulasta Device with an additional bandage that had a clear window and provided better adhesion. On July 20th, I sent a message to my Oncologist mentioning how I would like to request that same application method moving forward.
Remember, BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE
Also, I asked that their office please refrain from scheduling follow-up appointments immediately after my treatment sessions, as I'm too fatigued post-treatment to navigate additional appts, esp in different buildings. So stupid. I just can't understand that. Requested if they could please schedule follow-ups on separate days. Her staff may just not realize how exhausting chemo is.

Thankfully it's situated 3-doors away from a Firehouse. But still. My neighborhood is super hot Real Estate wise, and a building like this, on a corner, could fetch 10-15 million. Let's see what happens.

They dismantled all of the sidewalk sheds, yet the green wall remains. Loving those black framed windows. Have always wanted an apartment with those types of windows. The ones where you need to wind a lever and they open sideways. In my fantasy it needs to be a red bricked building second floor apartment, and the building is situated on a tree lined street. Make that a cobblestone street. No, not a street. A lane. And it's raining. It's springtime...

No clue what this building is supposed to be though it most certainly is not going not going to be another apartment building. Those steel rollup doors speak shops, though we shall see.

About the project
From the 1880s through the 1920s, 23rd Street was a major vaudeville, entertainment, and cultural district; "Ladies Mile," the fashion and department store haven of the time, was located nearby. In his mosaic “Memories of 23rd Street,” Keith Godard represents the area’s history through the various hats icons of the neighborhood may have worn. The celebrities Godard had in mind include Jim Brady, Oscar Wilde, Sara Bernhardt, Mark Twain, and Lillian Russell. "In addition to bringing back memories of the specific time period and people and appealing to the viewers on a more common level as fascinating hats, this design can also serve as an interactive, playful, and witty landmark," Godard says. "As a diversion, passengers waiting for the subway train might try to picture people on the opposite platform 'wearing' the hats they are standing beneath!"

That big truck on the left, its driver kept repeatedly blowing its horn and when I walked past, I looked over and he was wagging his finger at me, meaning NO! I just happened to be walking by in the middle of the day, on a weekday. And I need to remember to only photograph construction sites on weekends, as construction site personnel do not like people taking photos. And I could unknowingly photograph something that I shouldn't.

For a week in June 2018 I had worked at the Golf Tournament in the Hamptons. That had been really wild and I had a lot of fun as a result.

Crain's New York Business, March 7, 2024
Midtown-based Fisher Bros. has parted ways with a Long Island City site where it once hoped to build a 240-unit project.
The real estate firm has sold 42-50 24th St. to developer Chris Xu's United Construction & Development for $57.5 million, property records show. The deal will add to Xu's already substantial portfolio of Queens projects.
The Hakim Organization and Property Markets Group bought the site in 2015 for $69 million, and the real estate website New York YIMBY published renderings of a 74-story tower planned for the address in 2018. However, in 2019 Fisher Bros. prefiled plans for a 35-story project at the site that would span about 255,000 square feet with 240 residential units, 40,000 square feet of commercial space and a hotel.

In New York City, public urination is a civil offense, not a criminal offense, and is covered by Section 16-118 of the Administrative Code. First-time offenders can receive a fine of up to $75, with subsequent offenses within 12 months resulting in fines of $250–$350 for a second offense and $350–$450 for a third offense. Offenders will receive a civil ticket instead of a criminal summons and will not have a criminal record if found guilty. Administrative courts may also require offenders to perform community service.

Nothing on this property yet, though it's just a feeling I have. Could be right, could be wrong
This building houses the offices of the Social Security Administration and makes up half of the Alma Corporate Plaza which is comprised of two large office buildings in the neighborhood of Dutch Kills, Queens. Both buildings are quite spacious and I can totally see Alma (which is actually a real estate company) selling each of these properties off to developers. Another wait and see. One of many
