Did you know there was a bug in the iPhone which prevented one-time alarms to go off the first two days of 2011? I did, but thought it was a fluke. I shouldn’t have, since I woke up much later than I thought, and, naturally, my alarm didn’t go off.<\/p>\n
I wanted to walk much farther than I wound up doing, but between the slowness of the snow, occasional drizzle and a very long (for me, anyway, 25 minutes) lunch break, the sunset caught up with me in Downtown Williamsburg with barely 17 miles in.<\/p>\n
All in all the snow wasn’t that bad except by some parks and in the industrial part of Steinway. I don’t think I got that many great shots of the Steinway House, mainly because of the poor light and the trees. Oh, well. The landmarked property is for sale for a cool $2.5 million<\/a>. If you don’t mind living in a very industrial area and right next to a power plant, this is the house for you.<\/p>\n The most annoying part of the walk was finding bathrooms closed in, count them, eight different parks. More on that later.<\/p>\n
