But more importantly, how does it affect ME?

Apparently, they are "adjusting" the traffic patterns in Times Square. I know what you're thinking: "I wonder how this affects Clinky?"

Well, I'm vexed. As a general rule, it's rarely a good idea to drive through Times Square. Some people find it difficult to even walk through Times Square. But I work nearby. And on Sunday and Monday nights I work until about 3 in the morning. So the traffic is a little bit lighter, and I can take a carefully calibrated cab route to my home, which has been carefully adjusted to give me the quickest ride.

And this new traffic pattern has ruined this. I will either have to walk an extra block to get a cab, or have an unseemly detour in my route.

The deuce, you say.
