I mean my specific question is just I have to drive from Nyack into dobbs ferry tomorrow in the early afternoon and wondering how Trump visiting effects a route like that at this time. But I’m also wondering in general how his appearance affects traffic throughout the county. I realize no one has an exact answer to that but have they announced what roads would be closed or what to avoid or are they not allowed to do that ?

I just got a jury summons to call the night before but plan to come in early June for a case. Do they often have people from outside the city come in?

It happens way too often. Your name is on a cup. Another persons name is on yours. I believe most times it comes down to them just not wanting to wait so they take the wrong one but again… names on cups. I think what I find infuriating is I assume most of these adults are people who have many responsibilities in life and if they can’t read or look at a cup how do they handle everything else. But the reality might be they just don’t think THIS place is that important to follow the rules at

But my question is how do you make clear without being overly polite that something like that shouldn’t happen again? That the names are on cups for a reason?

I’ve had a friend for awhile who’s Catholic and even used to be a priest before he left it. I enjoy his company in most ways but find he brings up religion decently often. I’m Jewish on both sides of my family though non practicing even though most of my family is very involved. One frustration for me is how much religion is brought up given I don’t have that much Information to discuss or debate which I get is solvable by just mentioning maybe I don’t want to talk about it. But the other thing that’s frustrating is any comparisons he makes. As if, for example, the struggles of Jews is similar to the struggles of Catholics or, bigger part for me, him not understanding how small of a minority we are. When he has a frustration of being catholic he has 17% (or so) of the world to confide with where we have under 0.2%. I don’t get how he doesn’t see the difference in frustration as far as numbers would go.

I’m not sure how to better communicate this either. I do want to be friends and hang out but I need to be clear that any talk of religion isn’t that beneficial. Either it comes off lecturing (as a former priest he may well know more about Judaism than I do since I’m non practicing but I don’t need to be reminded of that) or slightly offensive
