Reason(s) to hate the [NY] Yankees

Today the humidity rolled into NY/NJ. For the most part we've been lucky, the temperatures have been very similar to Vancouver: dry, warm, breezy, and completely unusual for this time of year, for this part of the world.

We went into NY State today and went on a Nature hike in one of the state parks. Afterwards we headed back to Jersey for our plane ride around the NYC skyline. We took off out of Jersey, got to the Hudson River, began flying down Manhattan Island, when we received a call over our radio. We couldn't fly into NYC airspace because the Yankees game was beginning. Since 9/11 there is a no fly rule in NYC when there is an outdoor event, with x amount of people taking place.

So fuck the Yankees. Because of them we couldn't fly around NYC.

At least I got to see some nice Jersey skyline (and I'm not being sarcastic - it is the Garden State...)

Tomorrow is our last day in New York. Colin and I plan to wander around SoHo and Greenwich Village, and then attempt to get into a taping of tomorrow's Daily Show...
