A seal at Harsimus Cove stop. Very useful sign when it’s 38F, raining, and dark outside. It doesn’t matter when the Light Rail is coming! #njtransit But maybe @mikiesherrill.bsky.social has thought about it!

This is why I just use Pocahontas when I buy coffee. They never misspell or mispronounce Pocahontas.

Unbelievable. The Jersey Avenue Light Rail wait time screen has a wallpaper. Meanwhile, Garfield Avenue still doesn’t have any screens! NONE! #njtransit @mikiesherrill.bsky.social

One of my favorite cookbooks of all time is Fuchsia Dunlop’s “Land of Plenty”. I think it was responsible for introducing Sichuan cuisine outside of China; it certainly introduced it to my stomach. This is “yuxiang qiezi”, or fish-fragrant" eggplant. #ciacooksjerseycity

Isn’t Transit app more reliable? It’s always 20+ minutes away when I need it from JSQ after 7pm but at least it’s there. The NJ Transit app is so badly designed, so I rarely use it except to complain about the Light Rail.

Feels like 24F outside and windy in Jersey City and the Light Rail decided
to skip my scheduled train. Been waiting 26 minutes out in the cold. I wish @mikiesherrill.bsky.social was here to keep me warm.

I’ve been watching “Antiques Roadshow” on Netflix. One of the episodes featured a painting on leather by Winfred Rembert. The painting was appraised at ~$100k. The appraiser said Rembert survived a lynching, learned to paint in jail, wrote a Pulitzer memoir. So this is Book no.19 of 2025. #booksky
