No idea what you're on about. I can't recall the last time I heard that word anywhere.

You're kidding, right?

People are people, we all get to be assholes at least occasionally.

People who are experts at this kind of level often don't have great social skills. That's just how it works - in every field.

I'd tell some trusted friends too. Quietly. In person.

I though the canals had been abandoned by the 60's, didn't the restoration efforts begin in the 50's?

Still a great photo though.

Canal boats used horses/mules - a human can move them.

Then they converted to steam and diesel engines.

Check out the YouTube channel - he covers the history.

Good point.

I do know this was how they through tunnels when they used mules/horses.

Makes sense that once they had engines this would still be useful.

Hahaha 37 fucking minutes? I could just get across town.

He's a spoilt rich fucker in NY.

That weekend home is still in NY, so it's still something like $1300 per square foot.

I've known many average folks with mountain/lake/beach property. They're not wealthy, just their first home wasn't in an expensive place, same as the "cabin". I've been to "lake houses" that were just an old trailer home, or an inexpensive, minimalist construction.

The ones I know also rent out the cabin when they're not using it to subsidize it.

But yea, this isn't typical at all. The people I know are very much the exception.

Hahahaha, a home in Manhattan? Some of the most expensive real estate in the world at something like $1300 per square foot.

Typical New Yorker (city, that is). Many people there think they're the center of the world, that NYC is the place to be and everywhere else wants to be NYC.

Yea, he's way the fuck out of touch. I don't know anyone with a "weekend home".

I know people with vacation homes, but they bought those when they were older (50's), and they're usually small places say at a beach/lake, etc, that often gets rented out when they aren't using it (as that's how they pay for it).
