He occasionally will stretch his back after the scratch, but not always. It's extremely cute, and he's such an affectionate cat that I'm even kind of touched by it. But I suppose I find myself curious as to what the gesture breaks down to. I'm assuming it's a greeting, since he repeats it without fail every time I come home after being out for more than a few minutes, but I suppose I'm curious as to what the action signifies. I doubt it's totally random, but I can't quite figure out what "animal world" thing he would be doing by that particular pattern. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.97327 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:25:53 -0800 cat corner greeting meow resolved scratch WCityMike http://ask.metafilter.com/30327/Where%2Dare%2Dthe%2DNYC%2Dbus%2Dstops%2Dlisted NYC bus stops. Where are they? I've looked at the MTA maps and schedules, but they don't seem to list the actual stops anywhere. The schedules have a few stops listed with timelines, and the maps just show the routes without showing which corners the buses stop at, typically just the places you can transfer to another bus or subway. Am I missing something? Is there any way to figure out if the bus stops where I need to go? <br> <br> It needn't be down to the level of "which corner", or even precise blocks - I'd settle for a 2-block radius.<br> <br> Is this information obtainable somewhere (online preferably)? All five boroughs, not just Manhattan. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.30327 Fri, 06 Jan 2006 11:48:39 -0800 bus corner maps nyc stop Caviar
