Andras Revesz on the road

Arisztid es Taszilo

Are going to be the fictitious names in my non fictional story of meeting New York's 2 finest protecting and serving in Central Park yesterday night while riding bikes with Risi. It all happened around 7:30pm in a totally empty park. I didn't even notice them first, but then I couldn't not see them as they were coming up on our tails with their lights on having follow us nearly for a mile, so we quickly decided to exit the park.
Well, we weren't quick enough to get away and my super suspicious ass was stopped as they have come up on us. Risi was sent away 'military style'. My ID'd procedure was also conducted under strictly regulated safety codes. I couldn't move or talk or do anything at all. So after handing my license to him I asked why I was stopped to which Taszilo mumbles some code d 11, shortly to find out it's a red light I ran. I ask why it's illegal to run a red light in a park which is only open to recreational activities at this hour. Without answering my question he walks back to the road to check (I only can guess for traffic signs), still holding onto my ID.
During this time I have plenty of time to have a conversation with Arisztid who explains to me that regardless of the vehicle I operate I am to stop at all red lights. So I request his assistance in having a word with his partner when he returns. He also agrees with me it would be a waste of his time to go to court as
naturally I will plead not guilty to the offense, but he can't speak for his partner. Arisztid is called to the van when Taszilo returns and they have word, my request to plead anything at the time goes unheard and this young looking cop is now behaving elementary school style acting/gesturing behind his partners back showing me he can't talk to him. After 20 minutes I am handed a summons disobeying 'steady red light' riding on my bicycle. This whole event seemed like a staged act; Arisztid as the good cop, Taszilo was the bad cop teaching how to be tough and reach their productivity levels. Arisztid, the rookie even mentioned it was necessary due to Bloomberg, but Taszilo had refused to comment on that.
If you are unfamiliar with the system in New York here is the course of events to take place now. I plead not guilty, a hearing is scheduled to which Taszilo is to appear where he and I will have to present our case and it will be determined by a judge if I am guilty or not. And who knows when this hearing will take place
as I will do all so my witness can appear as well and it might take some arranging to do as London is not the same time zone as New York.
Other then guessing that this will take me away from work for at least half a day, while Taszilo is going to be earning over time money what I can't help to think of is what a freaking military city New York has come to be. As for my state of mind, I didn't let a silly event like this spoil my day, rather to take what I have learned from this situation and to keep riding.

The new Delta

Maybe it really is new.?
Well, I am not so sure about it, but something is definitely happening, though
I wouldn't hold my breath either.
I originally was flying on Friday the 13th of July to Seattle, which I’ve changed to Saturday morning. Here comes the good part, I was called and emailed just a bit before I would have needed to wake up that the flight is going to be delayed, this step was repeated one more time in a result of me being able to sleep an extra 3 hours, VERY well spent time. (Good thing I wasn’t in a rush to get to anywhere.) Now the better news is that I have just received a letter apologizing for the disruption in service, and here is the funny part, the letter refers to the flight I have changed from, which was delayed too, but only 2 hours and not 3 and a half. Now my question is, on second thought I don’t have any questions. Rather I will just thank Delta for paying for my change fee, so in essence Delta became my Global Gutz sponsor. I feel special now :smile:

zene a parkban

Evi ma New Yorkban dolgozott, es szerencsere nem fejeztek be a munkat, igy sikerult harman, vagy 3 millioan elvezni a New York Philharmonics okat elvezni a Central Parkban, a majdnem legjobb resz a R. Strauss, Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks muve volt, de ami vitte a palmat az a jo kis csaladi nosztalgia.
Itt vagyunk;

Seattle

durr defekt

Vagy legyen lazito pentek a fedonev.? Talan valami olyasmi ami egy londoni tea delutan lehet. Ma itthonrol dolgoztam, mert a frany/imadott IKEA szekrenyem jo par ev utan es egy par 'papcizas' utan teljesen felmondta a szolgalatot.
Befejezve munakamt elindultam cangazni. Nem teljesen cel nelkul, hamarosan a Willimasburg hidon talaltam magamat a gyonyoru naplemente az orrom elott, hutott sor a kezembem es egy remek Punjabi vacsora a sarkon igazan kedvesen szolgalt. Ezek utan nem tervezve, de vilag esemeny reszeve valtam es neki indultam a Global Gutz 'allycat' versenyen, az utolso 50 mesodperceben regisztralva 19ik indulokent vagtam neki a meg szamomra nem ismert celnak. A versenyenek 5 allomasa volt, a vilag minden varosaban megrendeztek es a nyertes Dublinba nyer utat. Ekkora celjaim nem voltak, mivel tudtam, hogy egy fel kilences repulo utra az esti 10 oras verseny nem a legjobb orvossag. Viszont baromi nagy elvezettel tekertem, igazi jo hangulat kozott. Szerencsere szamomra a tetopont a New York-i magyar vendegszeretet epicentrumaban ert el egy oriasi defekt formajaban, a durranas akkora volt, hogy meg a jarokeloket is megijesztettem. A dolog pozitiv oldalan viszont, hogy Judit egy pillanat alatt befogadott, igy sikerult is hamar felfrissulnom es a friss esemenyekrol magyarul vazlatot irnom. Eme tortenetnek folytatasa is van, ha erdekel gyere vissza es akkor el is olvashatod.

Kwik E-Mart

The Simpsons movie is coming at the end of the month!!!
I can't wait to see what my geniuses have created.
In the meantime some 7-Elevens have been converted to Kwik E-Marts, I need to go check this out. They are selling KrustyO Cereal, Buzz Cola, pink donuts, Squishees and all the works.
Now I have to go and see all this for myself.

Also Springfields across the US are competing to host the premier on July 27th, did you know there is a Springfield in every State in this country?

Broadway Bombing

This allycat race's mission was to bomb down (or up on some of the hills) the whole length of Broadway about 13.5 miles. This is the length of Manhattan from tip to tip. My starting position was good and I climbed strong. These pictures reflect the mood perfectly. 4th of July fireworks closed the event for Risi and myself.

If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium

At least our flight to New York was uneventful, and that was a treat after Belgium. It was almost a year ago when security went crazy in London, it was the same again. At least flights weren't canceled in Bruxelles, but the airport was a mess. As we were waiting online for the security check a person showed up calling all passengers to the US to follow him, all without any explanation. We were taken to another level to another security check after a very long walk, and that was a thorough check! Let's look on the bright side; I got to know BRU airport a little better. And on the less bright side; Belgium.*
