That's right boys and girls, the Cyber Kid was released in mid-July to
resume his flying duties. Mainly, that consisted of getting back in
the saddle and taking check-rides to ensure all was legal again. One
of the first trips back for our fearless leader was a trip to New York
City, home to the Yankees, the best pizza and of course the Cyber Kid
himself.
Having found
himself with a full day to venture downtown, the Cyber Kid along with a
trusty, and cute, side-kick took in the sites.
Starting out in the Port Authority Bus Terminal, we ventured to Times Square
for a quick STARBUCKS and tour of
the new TOYS R' US store. Then it was a chaotic taxi ride (with angriest
Nairobian driver I ever met - if we got a quarter every time the driver
said "F*** You Guy!" - we would've been rich!?...) down to GROUND
ZERO (the television does not give justice to the enormity of that
site when you are actually standing there- especially if you've been there
pre 9-11. It was a very eye-opening experience to say the
least.) After that, it was up to Union Sq. where I visited an old
haunt of mine - THE FORBIDDEN
PLANET (a comic shop that I used to hit every weekend) and then over
to Washington Square Park, up to Canal Street and finally back to Times
Square. With the the temperature reaching 96 degreees with humidity
at 46%, it was a full day to say the least.
Anyway, below you
will see a picture of the Cyber Kid in Washington Square Park and clicking
on any of the GROUND ZERO links will take you to the
series of pictures taken at the site. That's all I have and again, until next time, this has been your ever-faithful roving reporter
