Watched White Collar today, as I am wont to do.

This is a very non-slashy episode (so some of you won't like it, and you know who you are), but you should still try to catch the last 15 minutes or so, because that's the actual Staten Island Ferry Terminal. How cool is that?

Of course, we don't have those large updating digital schedule things that they used to show a picture. Big plot point, and we don't actually have them. No, we just have paper schedules on the wall and two running tapes that show ads and the time and that are chronically busted anyway. (They've been known to flash the Windows icon at everybody. Yeah.)

But still, how cool is that?

I don't have TV, but it's cool anyway. I remember the Staten Island Ferry, which I rode only once, around 1969, but don't recall the terminal.

If you've seen the movie The Ring, you've seen the Port Townsend ferry to Whidbey Is., which my kidling and I used to ride every holiday to visit my parents. Very ironic; they filmed that scene in November, when rain can generally be counted on, but we were having such a long, lovely Indian summer that year that they had to use hoses to make it rain in the scene.
