NYC artifact
One more thing that I will no longer need now that I am in SF: The NYC metrocard. It represents the freedom to quickly move around the city, without having to wait with tourists at the kiosk to buy tix.
It represents getting to know the regular subway crazies and performers. I definitely spent some time at the 2nd ave F stop listening to that wild jazz band with the horns, the huge bass drum, and that raspy singer screaming "oh when the saints come marching in" Most importantly, it represents one of the first punishments NYC inflicts on you when you move ther. Confusing uptown/downtown and express/local. Or the ever frustrating last minute route changes leaving your short hop on the F train as a 30 minute detour up the A-C-E! (Sent from a Blackberry Curve)
