I agree, for the most part. With roaches in NYC, it's war.

Brooklyn is the best! I noticed the change in your location, from negative to positive. Or at least that's how I read it.
That sounds great man. Good landing.Total game changer for me. Now i don't want to leave this area.
So you just need to cross the [film trailer voice]Neutral Zone[/film trailer voice] and reach the Narrows bridge to escape to freedom.
Cut to obligatory gear up scene...
This is a really cool path along the water. It goes underneath the Verrazano Bridge. The one huge downside is no water fountains, at least last time I ran down there, which was seven years ago.

Direction of your left shoulder ... more or less (~one day walk according to google maps).
Left and way east of the bridge. Quite a ways out in Long Island.

Maybe you're willing to spend 50% more on food than you have to, I'm not. It's not as if I stopped shopping Walmart they'd go away. Why should I suffer because other people can't figure out how to make their obsolete business model work?
I bought a one way ticket to China after realizing I couldn't compete manufacturing in the US. I didn't speak Chinese and had one tenuous contact. I have little patience with whiners who need a villain to blame for their failures, be it competition or immigrants.

I'm not the person you replied to, but my white strap is a Levy's Leathers MSS2-WHT leather strap with foam padding. Here's a pic of mine with my white Thunderbird:

I have no remorse putting mosquitoes out of their misery - flies also. I was painting outside under an eve a few weeks ago in SoCal and heard this sound - looked around and a dark fuzzy flying grape was wanting to get where I was. I had a big fat brush filled with paint and made it clear I'd use it if it got any closer. It buzzed away.
Carpenter Beetle - they apparently bore into wood and take up camp... about the size of a good-sized grape.

Many moons ago I had a cat and watched it catch and eat a green praying mantis ... he seemed to enjoy doing so.
TR6 is a fun little car. Since you live in CA pay attention to what year you buy. I believe 1975 and older are exempt from CA smog requirements. The 1976 and newer models would have to pass the ever tightening smog requirements, which can be nearly impossible for some of those older cars.
An interesting back story...
There are a total of about 5 guys that combined account for around 95% of all the movie trailer voices we've all heard and grown up with. A couple of them are close friends. It's always a bit unnerving when we get together at the bar for drinks and start talking. Everybody around us recognizes the voices but can't place the faces, drives eavesdroppers nutz.
Over drinks one night I dared my "voice" buddy's to pull all five guys together and make a short YouTube clip. They took me up on the dare. I bet you'll recognize every voice in this clip...
