May the Post be with you ...


Saw this mailbox on 32nd Street and Seventh Avenue not long after reading about an effort to promote a new "Star Wars" 30th anniversary stamp by the U.S. Postal Service. Very cool.

D'oh!

I have a beard trimmer that I occasionally use to whack back my mustache.

When I used it last weekend, I thought it was beginning to sound a little anemic. So, I thought I'd recharge it.

Which is when I realized that the plug on the recharger was British and that I'd bought the thing in the UK.

Looks like I'll need to buy a new one ... Amazing that it lasted this long (I left the UK in December '04 and India -- which runs on the same voltage as the UK -- in December '05).

Welcome

Welcome to my fourth and latest blog -- The Dashing Commuter. I have borrowed the name from an advertising character used to promote the Long Island Rail Road. As I remember him, The Dashing Commuter wore glasses and a raincoat and was on the run, presumably for his train.

I will use this blog to report on amusing things that I see, with the occasional photo. My intent is to amuse and occasionally enlighten.

Please do not hesitate to post comments!
