now that it's daylight savings time it's pitch black at 6pm and the streets are full of assholes walking their damn dog looking at their damn cell phone while insane joggers run around like fools

Very New York specific rec. Get to know the denizens of your shared sky, observe their lives day and night, give them a double take and don’t engage at sea level. Rinse and repeat.
