(March 14 & 16) I am now a 5 mile walk to the train. Woe is me.

mt. sinai harbor
The journey starts out in Miller Place.

they're really just big tailpipes
Off in the distance, you can see the smokestacks from the Port Jefferson Power Station, a few blocks from where I lived for eight years.

no gassing allowed
The geese are safe from Michael Bloomberg here

sign not withstanding
It looks a lot more rural here than it really is

this sign either
No hunting. But really, it’s suburbia, honest!

drive shaft
Someone had a really lousy day.

hulk smash!
Lousy enough to make them very angry. But that didn’t change the fact this is a very dangerous road.

it just doesn't have what it takes i guess
And the weathervane has gone down again

ladder co.
Apple’s on fire! … just kidding. Maybe Tony stopped by.

this news surprises no one
The city has crabs.

laurence, get your ass to the meeting!
I passed by the House of Viza, but he was not there.

and metallic
The flowers seem somehow much larger this spring.

(December 31) The last day of a lousy year.

an assignment
As the morning begins, it seems I am Mr. Phelps. Or Mr. Hunt, if you prefer.

and the secretary will disavow any knowledge of my actions
This message will self destruct in ….

quackers
Later that night as I returned home, there were some ducks (geese?) who apparently didn’t get the memo about the pond being frozen over.

yeah, well you're a birdbrain!
They emphatically did not wish to participate in this photoblog.

fuck off, 2010!!
Good riddance, 2010.

(December 24) I need to try and remember, nothing around here is open late or at all on holidays. A three mile walk to the store for baking powder came up against an empty store. Fortunately I whipped up a substitute at home.

dirty hippies
Peace man, …. peace.

not photoshopped
Bah fuckin humbug.

(November 14) Last night in Port Jefferson. Last-minute packing ensues.

casa george
Home for one more night

there are signs
Change is afoot

it's a sign, not a clock
Starts on the 15th though

but, they know things
Wise words, indeed.

Every now and then, I escape back to the city where I belong.

passed out behind the garbage pail
Instead of being the train home to Brooklyn, now it’s the train to the city.
The number of drunks and bums Father Frank’s homeless shelter attracts to the area seems to have steadily risen over time. Now they’re passed out all over the train station day and night.

the finger
I prefer this city greeting to the drunks sprawled out on the platform in Port Jeff

beacon in the darkness
Hello ESB, my old friend. I’ve come to talk with you again.

or moving vehicles
The city is full of ghosts

not to be confused with 'babes in toyland'
The Endless March of the Yellow Cabs

br0ke sign
It is now safe to walk uphill.
