  The Cyrist Union Bank of Manhattan has a very nice lobby. After the past eight days, I can speak as an authority on all things related to bank decor. The routine is always the same—some Cyrist banker, usually overstuffed, claps Simon on the shoulder and they go into a private office. Twenty minutes or so later, Simon comes out, usually smelling of smoke, scotch, or both.
I wait outside like his faithful hound.
Simon has a list of twenty-three different coordinates we're assigned to visit, mos
...tly banks, in preparation for the next timeline adjustment.  This is our second jump to this particular bank. Yesterday we visited the March 2008 version and I spent about an hour in this same little alcove. It looked almost identical—dark polished wood and marble everywhere. The chairs were less comfortable in 2008, however, and about half of the people in the lobby had their eyes glued to cell phones.
And they had air-conditioning. The bank doesn't seem to have sprung for that luxury in 1929.
