Janette Sadik-Khan for King/Queen of the Universe!

This is Cindy. I ran into her when I was cycling over to the West Side of Manhattan a few weeks back. I had to stop abruptly because the ramp directly behind her that runs down to the Greenway on the Hudson was shut. Big sinkhole. No big deal for me. I found another way there.  But for Cindy it meant no enjoying the day on the river path. But she was so laid back about it. She had a great attitude. It gave me gratitude for my blessings.

When I got home I sent a note to our Department of Transportation Commissioner, Janette Sadik-Khan about a possible fix. For those of you who do not know of her, she is a force of nature par excellence.  She has done more to improve the lives of us in NYC than you can ever imagine. Through her efforts NYC has become pedestrian and cycling friendly. Her work is incredible, miraculous, fantastic wonderful and amazing. I cannot say enough good things about her.

Today on my trip the sinkhole was fixed. Cindy, I assume, was down by the river enjoying the breeze.

Janette would tell you she had nothing to do with the repairs.  But I know it was her magic elves at work. Or if not, just her incredible kharma making life better.

I vote that she become empress of all things in the universe.

Cheers and ride safely.
