(August 17) Since most of my visits to Central Park don’t involve leaving the street loops around it, I decided to look around the inside of the park a little.

what's that penned onto the ad?
If you’re paying attention, the sages of Brooklyn
have critiqued this ad for your sarcastic amusement

ha ha ha
It’s probably true

Pulitzer Fountain

scourge of the south
General Sherman, not so beloved below the Mason-Dixon line.

it's made of stars
It lights up when someone stands in the doorway

but are there clowns?

There’s a large number of statues lining the path

Walter Scott

robby
Robert Burns

look out for the gators!
The bayou of Central Park

I followed a path into what turned out to be The Ramble

is your path rocky?

at least there's no toll

Only a few feet from Manhattan, I exited out onto the street

I was wondering how long would pass before I saw this on one of the new screens

Dorkbot is one of my favorite things to go to. Nobody knows me there;
it’s all fun and no work when you’re on the audience side of the podium.

he's got a lot of heart
His heart beats, you see it in realtime.

You can watch him use the various parts of his brain too.

Yes, Pete has a cup of black coffee in one hand, and a lit cigar in the other, and he’s rollerblading in Central Park.
(he’s wearing the same shirt as last time too)

the man-horse!
Back on Smith St. in Brooklyn, they let some kids decorate the boards used to conceal a construction site. They should do this more often.

Back to Central Park, Pete leads the newbies through the AIDS walk after-crowd.

The cops eventually made them clear out. Surprised?

Finally it was off to visit Josh at the Harold & Kumar Frat House.

It’s so much faster when you drive there… early.
May 30.

 

 billboard.

These are among the world’s most expensive billboards.

 

 midtown tunnel.

Through the tunnel.

 

 contrast.

I believe they call this contrast.

 

 famous fountain.

The angel atop the fountain.

 

 pedro.

Pete, and more contrast.

 

 maxin and relaxin.

There were a fair number of people relaxing in the park.

 

 no traffic.

When we left there was no traffic to speak of.

 

 nice day.

It was a nice day, and we got home quickly.

Central Park.

 

 exiting the tunnel

We entered the city via the Midtown Tunnel.

 

 red and white baloons

The day started out sunny.
Today was a holiday, but I don’t know what.

 

 ha ha. pete's ass!

Pete told me not to take photos of his ass.
So of course I did.

 

 the horniest man alive

As we passed through the park, Pete molested the cat.
Video of him climbing down the hill in his rollerblades would have been even more amusing.

 

 i'll bet he gets lots of dates, right?

No visit to the city is complete without encountering an alien.

 

 saturday traffic

When it was time to leave, there wasn’t much traffic.

 

 this thing almost fell down

We passed by the CitiGroup Building. It would have fallen down in high winds had the architect not realized this when construction was nearing completion.

 

 darkening skies

By the time we got out of there, it was not so nice a day anymore.

 

 more citi

And then we passed the other Citi building. One wasn’t enough.
(actually I think it used to be the Traveller’s Building before the buyout)
