(Feb 7) Visited my mother for her birthday, since I was sick my whole time there for Thanksgiving.
They are with me now more than ever
Six and a half hours of train travel is about to begin
I wonder how long it would take to fly upstate
Four and a half hours in this seat.
(Apr 27) It is now undeniably spring. And it becomes time to ponder the reasons why I am still here.
Though I still have not seen it all
I wonder how many times people have walked past this sign.
This will now always look the same, every time.
Beer. The cause of, and worsener of problems.
(Oct 20) If you knew me, you’d think I’d have been here already, or that I’d have gone with Viza. You’d be wrong on both counts. On this particular Sunday afternoon though, I went to the NYC Transit Museum with Preed.
It starts with the story of digging
Preed tried his hand at manual labor
Today’s Game: “Where’s Tesla?”
I’ve never actually seen one of these for reals before
Stupid people? Ironic? Perhaps just well-trained.
Wrigley’s spells an ad that wouldn’t pass standards and practices today
It’s amazing how long they stuck with wicker seats
Paul seemed deeply interested in these
(Feb 28) A whole lot of nothing. Been sick. Mission now… make things happen in March.
Rolling along, same ol’ same old.
Passing under the action. Or the lack thereof.
(Jul 26) I’ve been coming to this neighborhood for 13 years. At some point a patch of land indistinguishable from an abandoned dump turned into a park. It seemed to spring into being suddenly, though it must have been going on behind the fence for quite a while.
But first… The Asshole of the Day
The Diallo Mural has been brutally vandalized, undoubtedly by the landlord
More shhamefully, the city just re-armed one of the perpetrators.
Surrounded by multiple railroads on two sides
At least the water doesn’t seem to be killing the birds
But it detracts from the park overall, which needs every inch of usable space it can get.
Looking back at the wasted space
There’s plenty of trains here though.
It’s part of the “Bronx River Greenway”
