(Oct 16) Pete took us to Central Park. I tried to shoot video. The camera has a feature which caused me to inadvertently snap ten stills. I uploaded them all because I thought the collection was “interesting”. Without further comment, here’s a few.

The finale of August was the attempted liquidation of the contents of two containers. The owners, a husband and wife died within a short time of each other, and the rent went unpaid, and at a certain point the containers and their contents became abandoned property.

collectible... allegedly
There was a rather odd mix of things, but much of it was garbage that someone obviously believed would be worth something, someday.

It was sad to pick through, seeing so much money wasted on items designed to be collectible, including this tin and puzzle….

all hail modern preservatives
… full of 12 year old popcorn that looks frighteningly like fresh popcorn.

Additionally, there’s probably 750-1000 LP albums in various condition.

Wrapping up August was another trip to …

Pete knows this girl from his trips to the park without me. I don’t remember her name.

She’s got good balance

attack of the killer bubbles
This poor kid was swallowed whole by a bubble. Nobody tried to save him, they all just watched him get devoured.

The re-becoming something is well underway

leaving the park
And then it was time to leave
