Brooklyn Move in- A Great Success. Very nice

First, greetings from Brooklyn!  So you can figure out I made it.  As you may recall from yesterday's post, there were 5 potential dangers: the train, the transfer, the station, the weather, the conductor.   

1)  I got the double decker :-(  But LUCKILY I somehow managed to get the conductor's section which immediately to the right is one level with ample space.  Not intended as a passenger area, the conductor was cool with letting me use his cubby for my stuff, and to keep me out of the way.  So with that move I took out number 1) and 5)!

2) Unfortunately, I had to change platforms.  But again, luck would have it- elevators.  So number two was easy.  Below is a pic of my stuff at Jaimaca- remember- the suitcase is like 100 lbs and the backpack is like 30. 

3)  I got off at Flatbush and followed the elevator signs- see below.  It must have been a "sign" (ha-yawn) because the Hansen's are in Laguna Beach right now, weird travel coincidences.  

4)  The weather.  It actually cooperated and waited to start raining until about noon, well after I had gotten all my stuff in.  See below for weather as I am approaching Brooklyn...

5) See 1) above.

6) "As you know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know.  We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know.  But there are also unknown unknowns- the ones we don't know we don't know."  Donald Rumsfeld.  

Likewise- I did not know I would be exhausted when I got to Flatbush Station.  So I had to grab a cab, which was $12 to go a mile.  But I made a friend.  His name is Ighabel and he is from Northern Pakistan.  After learning I was a law student, he urged me to study immigration law so that I might make millions.  He then asked for my name and number and told me we shall go and have tea.  Very interesting- considering the book I just read. :-)

Also- I forgot about the STAIRS.  4 flights of vertical marble with all that stuff.
