If only my bike hadn't been stolen.  I'd have the opportunity to be run down and arrested.

But that's the price I pay for leaving my friend outside overnight in Brooklyn's Clinton Hill.

Personally, I would like to take this opportunity to express my dismay at the lack of attention to politics in my particular neighborhood... and NYC in general.  Perhaps it's because I came form a town as politically charaged as Madison.  People had a lot less to distract themselves with, and more time to focus on voting.

I have yet to be approached by somebody urging me to register to vote for the Mayoral election.  That being said.  Is there a good place to do so?  I've been living in NYC for 2 months now.  I finally have my world together enough to focus on putting down my name and address on a registration card.

New York is definitely a hard place to get people to focus unless it's something very NIMBY oriented - people work hard and play hard, leave the details on too many things to others to deal with. And I'm sorry Hydro, but the registration deadline passed a few weeks ago. Definitely register though, we will probably have a competitive Governor's and Senator's race next year.
