How to Cross the Street Like a New Yorker

I'm currently on leave from Nuclear Power School...or, techically, the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command (NNPTC)...or, even more technically, I'm on leave from Temporary Additional Duty at GWU NROTC, which was assigned by the NNPTC. Long story.

I recently visited New York, and got to see two friends who are both going to Mt. Sinai Medical School. Being in New York reminded me of the following list that I came up with during my visit last Spring--the Rules for Crossing the Street Like a New Yorker:
Step off the curb and glare at the traffic
When there is a break in traffic, walk quickly but nonchalantly across the street
Above all, do not pay attention to the traffic lights. They are merely there to entrance the tourists.
I'm now off to Boston, where I'll get to visit more Stanford folk...eventualy swinging back to DC, to hang out with my brother and finish up my "TAD."
