Tractor Trailer hits bridge on Meadowbrook Parkway NY VIDEO...

Jun 1, 2014 by moveology

This took place on the Meadowbrook Parkway on Long Island NY. Many of the comments relate to how the person videotaping should have warned the driver. Which he did appear to have time to, in my opinion. Commenters also mention the driver should have seen the signs. As a CDL driver myself, it is well known that outside the NYC area there are not many parkways. So drivers from out the area don’t realize that there are low bridges. And I see a rental truck on parkways about once every two weeks. I just saw first time a police officer giving a ticket to a rental truck driver a few weeks ago. Why do parkways have low bridges? One legend is that Robert Moses is that “ built low bridges to keep buses —...

You never know what you can find in a storage unit....

Jan 8, 2014 by moveology

The case of Vivian Maier via vivianmaier.com It started with a search for vintage photos and a chance purchase. Moved to a wordpress blog with no visitors ( like this one). Upgraded to a kickstarter campaign to make a documentary And along the way ended up saving part of an unknown photographers history and photographs from going into the trash from a storage unit. “It’s almost as if she left a perfectly arranged puzzle to be put together after her death.” FYI that does not look like a “(packed) storage locker”. The unit appears to be half or three quarters full. If you do not need to access the items frequently she probably could have used one unit. And these units may have been used for years. Note the North American Moving boxes in the...

He works out, he’s vibrant. You’d really like him. JERRY: Why do people always say that? I hate everyone, why would I like him? ELAINE: What do you think, would you go out with a sixty-six year old woman? JERRY: Well, I’ll tell you, she would have to be really vibrant. So vibrant, she’d be spinning. RENTAL CAR AGENT: I’m sorry, we have no mid-size available at the moment. JERRY: I don’t understand, I...

Seinfeld S03 E18 “The Boyfriend” Part 2 “When You’re moving your whole world becomes boxes. That’s all you think about is boxes. Boxes, where are there boxes? You just wander down the street going in and out of stores. Are there boxes here? Have you seen any boxes? I mean it’s all you think about. You can’t even talk to people because you can’t concentrate. Shut up I’m looking for boxes. Just after a while you become like really into it you can smell them. You walk into a store. There’s boxes here. Don’t tell me you don’t have boxes. Dammit, I can SMELL them. I’m like I’m obsessed. I love the smell of cardboard in the morning. You could be at a funeral. Everyone’s mourning crying around, and your looking at the casket....
