Steamy!
You may have heard we had an explosion this week. I heard that too. Mostly because I wasn’t anywhere near it, although, being that Manhattan is a tiny island, that may be relatively speaking. But luckily it didn’t affect me in any way except that the subway took three times as long to arrive and four times as long to get to my destination and it seemed even longer than that because I had five people pressed against me. I’m now pregnant. Oh, I kid.
But the question has been asked of me, why the hell are there steam pipes underneath the streets, anyway? What exactly does New York need steam for? If you have heard my clanking radiator (you can even hear it over the phone sometimes) then you already know the answer to this question. But for the rest of you… well, I’ll let Lois Griffin take this one.
