This was a bad as the storm got

But it added up to a lot of OT for the Sanation Dept. and got us to stare at the weather forcast.

It smells like snow

and New Yorks Strongest are ready

That's 2nd Ave and 11th Street.  Looking at the F or G train going over the Culver Ave viaduct.  I don't know where Culver Ave is.  That "El" is so tall because it goes over a draw bridge.  The Smith & 9th Street Subway Station is actually over the drawbridge that goes over the Gowanus Canal.  I don't know why.

Update: Some news from a friend: 

It's actually the Culver Viaduct - no Ave in the name nor any such thoroughfare in Brooklyn to the best of my knowledge. Culver Plaza is now the site of the Aquarium. Andrew Culver created the Prospect Park & Coney Island Railroad. The elevated (formerly BMT) stretch of Culver's line (now the F) was connected to the underground (IND) at Church Avenue in 1954.

I find lots of stuff, but today was crazy.

Yea I find lost of things. I figure I just pay more attention to my environment than most people. What else would explain that I spotted a $100 bill on the sidewalk on Lexington Ave and saw 3 people step over it and a forth stepped on it before I picked it up. That kinda stuff just happens to me. Yea, I have found cameras, cell phones and real jewelry. I think because I do what ever it takes to get it back to the owner it just comes to me. (BTW, never trust a "lost&found")

About once a year I gather up all the loose change in the house and car and bring it to the local TD bank.  I plop it in the little machine and get enough paper money to buy lunch.  I am never supprised to find some change near the machine.  If a coin is bent or it goes into a little cup on the bottom.  People don't care.

But today I was even shocked.  On top of the machine there was a giant pile of money in the same spot as in the picture above (that I stole from daylife.com).  I plopped it on my scanner.  There is about 13.50€ which in now worth about $19.  The rest of the nunismania as an eclectic assortment including a coins from most Central American countries, some unknown Asian nations,  Chuck E. Cheeses, Six Flags and subway tokens, pennies crushed at the Bronx Zoo, toy money, a button ,a screw, a little camera charm, tupence, a loony and a tuney and a token from an old Times Square peep show.  There are also a variety of religious medals.

It looks nice on my scanner....  I separated the Euros so I can give them to next person I know who is going to Euroland.

The Rental Market Must be good

Off 5th Ave in Park Slope/Sunset Park.

Maybe Horton will rent out that speck he found......

This morning in Prospect Park, Brooklyn

Rorschach test

My son took this picture.  He did not just take the picture, he demanded the camera, aimed, clicked and told me "Put it on your blog!"

Can you guess what it is.

It is official again

On November 7, 2010 I will get to reaffirm my humanity.
