Nope. They were never going to close. They were just going to move.
From this week's NYT:
"STAYING PUT Lease difficulties have scotched Tony Luke's plans to move to a nearby location. So the Philadelphia cheese steak spot will stay where it is. It will reopen on Sept. 1: 576 Ninth Avenue (41st Street), (212) 967-3055."

People who don't do what I do trying to do what I do and not trusting that I know better than them how to do what I do.

Ah, Stephanie! A rhetorical masterpiece.
Cambridge University Professor of Electrical Engineering, Sir Charles Oatley, in October, 1948, along with his student Dennis McMullan, began the research that led to the production of the first scanning electron microscope in 1965.

The assholes on my block who play the "let's see who has the loudest car stereo and can set off the most car alarms" game every day from 5 to 8 PM.
I can't wait until winter, but they will probably find another game then.

that's a citywide competition.
what music do they play? in our neighborhood the nortena polkas are being replaced by [/I]reggaeton; this is a good thing. We also hear lots of dancehall (buju banton, bounty killer etc) and 50c. the other night a guy drove by (at least 60 times) playing a killer cumbia[I].

I also get 50, and I get The Game and really bad remixes of "Rapper's Delight." There is a lot of nortena and a lot of merengue.
The music doesn't annoy me, it is the car alarms that result.
What's cumbia?

possible bacterial infection that has turned my stomach into a hyper-efficient liquidizer, and 102 fever (at least it was last night).

Sorry, Mongo. I hope you recover quickly.
Is that 102 Celsius?

i'm hot, but not that hot. i think death happens in the low 40s celsius. temperature's down to normal now, and the stomach seems to be fixing itself slowly as well. but now i have to finish this course of antibiotics, which means no drinking for the next few days...

For many years, Southern state licenses, which allowed 15 year olds to drive, were much prized in the North where 17 was often the required age.
I just read the beginning of this thread for the first time. Can you imagine how much it did for my social life when I moved back to Lebanon (driving age 18) with a perfectly legal American driver's license after visiting my grandparents in Florida at the age of 15?
Best. highschool. experience. ever.
Current annoyance: I'm reading this paper and I can't for the life of me figure out how they computed their result. Which is bad, because I need to do the same computation for my paper.
Summarizing, then, we assume that relational information is not subject to a corpus of utterance tokens upon which conformity has been defined by the paired utterance test.

And what have we learned about eating food in foreign countries? Hmmmm? Or did you finally consume that jar of organic mayonnaise that went (possibly) rancid?
If death happens in the low 40s, I have dodged a bullet.
