Ummm... this is the message I got in my fortune cookie today.
I don't really get it.
Does this mean I get another cookie?

Cool warehouse alley in Gowanus

#381

I'm not sure how to ride it, but I know I want to.

I really like Garlic, and was really excited to check
out this gestival in Saugerties, NY last weekend
There were hundreds of booths, and thousands of
people all there to celebrate GARLIC!!
There was live music too!
Like "Annie and the Hedonists"
And even a Garlic Polka band equipped with
awesome side burns.
Altough the amount of people and the smell was
overwhelming, I still had a blast.

So, a few of us went out to dinner the other night,
and one of us got a sandwhich with really cold bread.
Well, after talking to some of the wait staff, we were
able to get it taken off the bill. I really like the language
they used to identify what was being removed.
I guess this is them admitting the bread was cold

German style beer holding competition.
Whoever holds a full liter of beer the longest only using
one arm and not bending it at all, wins.
Apparently the record in Germany is 13 minutes.
I had my money on the hispter in the striped sweater.
He came in second at about 5 minutes

HGTV marketing blitz + MTA being strapped for cash =
Well designed, creative subway cars.
It really felt like I was in a house, a really crowded house.

So I went to the West Indian Day Parade on Eastern Parkway
in Brooklyn on Labor Day this year. It was incredible to see
some many people (over 3 million) with so much energy,
having such a great time. With that said, my favorite part was
running into Taimak Guarriello, better known as
I took a picture with Bruce Fucking Leroy!!!!
If you've never seen it before go watch "The Last Dragon"
and you'll know why I am so excited.

It looks like someone clipped this Batmobile's wing

I love this message in a Greenwich Village Window

#373

Ah, the Gowanus Canal.
It's oddly disgusting and inviting at the same time.

The view from the patio at my great aunt's house in Allaben NY.
I love the intricacy of the ironwork and the stone columns.
And I love Uncle Ernie's old school optician sign too.
It always great to visit the Catskills.

I used to hate all tomatoes.
Now, kinda like them.
Especially cherry tomatoes picked right off the vine.
Thanks Harris, they were Deeee-licious!!

I've been pretty fascinated by spiders recently.
I can't believe how smart and clever they are, and how
they always seem to have trapper another, bigger insect.
And the intricacy of their webs is mesmerizing.
This spider was just dancing around this ant,
letting it know who's boss

The Duck Decoy Museum in Havre De Grace, MD
There are a lot of fake ducks there
I would have bought this if it was less than $20


I did touch!!

More wood sculpture carvings at Triple C Ranch.

I think they are really great.

#366

I recently went to a meeting for work in Edison NJ
We had a great talk about the Gowanus Canal Superfund Site.
.afterwards, I was able to walk around their Ranch and Swamp.
Here's a little of what I saw...
A 700 lb pig

a sheep and a wood carving

and some dwarf goats chillin in a trailer.
Check them out if you get the chance

Great day to go for walk and drink a beer right by the water in Portsmouth

#362


An awesome, old school gas station outside the Village Store
in Francestown, New Hampshire. I really got a kick out if this place.

#361


Just one of the many really old, beautiful cemeteries in New England.
This one looks like cardboard cutouts on a move set.

The Yankee Siege Trebuchet in Greenfield, NH

Apparently the Yankee Siege Trebuchet (the contraption in the middle of
the picture) has thrown a 10 lb pumpkin over 2000 ft. It's a weird thing to
come across while going for a peaceful drive in the country.

"The castle" - one of the Yankee Siege's targets

This thing was just absurd

another weird sculpture at Yankee Siege.

And, finally, a huge witch's hat made from straw and sticks.

Camping in New Hampshire
at Greenfield State Park
Me in the Hammock at campsite 227, the best one in the park.

Check out the the lil farm house in the middle of the forest

Fishing

Katie and I had a blast, and if you've never been, go check out NH

In the Spirit of the World Cup, NYC has it's own COPA.
16 "National Teams" play each other in an attempt
to be crowned the Kings of NYC Soccer.
I stopped by for the Argentina Mexico Game
which ended in a 1-1 tie. It was a really fun, free event.

Below is a video of the raucous Argentine faithful

I felt like I was in Buenos Aires watching a Boca Juniors game.
