The house in the middle of the photo below is what we call a Trash House.
This doesn’t necessarily mean that the people who live there are trash or that the current owners are trash, but someone along the way…TOTAL TRASH!
Someone at some point in time decided to completely pave over the quaint front yard perhaps even [...]
A couple of weeks ago before it had chilled I was in the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, and it was just about the last weekend day when the weather was perfect.
These water flowers were eating up the sun…TOTAL COOLNESS!!!
Most people living in NYC enjoy living under the pretense that they are better than everyone else and that they are just about invincible human beings. The one basic weakness that most New Yorkers have in common is their collective neurosis.
Both people ill educated as well as highly educated have daily moments when they [...]
ROAR!!! Be scared!!!
And wonder how I can stand with my legs like this…HINT…it’s because of my witch powers…
YAAARRG!! Be scared! I only have three teeth!!!
While in Prospect Park I was taking notice of the cool colors that were painted on this support beam and noticed something…something…SPOOKY!!!
A spooky little beetle!
At first I thought it might be an Asian Longhorned Beetle (and would have gladly killed it by eating it), but I have photos of them on my refrigerator and this [...]
There’s a monument in Prospect Park in honor for a group of men who heroically put down their lives (and took as many as they could with them) so that George Washington and the rest of the Continental Army could flee the British during the Battle of Brooklyn.
The wording was displayed in copper that was [...]

Sure there are some poorly run unions out there, and at the same time nothing is perfect and the majority of [...]
Seriously! Don’t steal…
Unless you turn the mug around…otherwise he’s watching!
Girlfriend has a robot that lives in the corner of her apartment and from the minute I heard of it I had wanted to see it in action. Months have gone by and the day has finally come, behold Roomie!!!
It’s a vacuum and it knows everything! I was super excited and watched it motor around [...]
I’ve walked past this tree numerous times over the past few years and never even noticed it - it’s an Osage-orange tree.
The Osage-orange is a fruit that appears to be the offspring between your brain and a tennis ball.
Please indulge me in this PSA…
On the outside wall of Prospect Park at about 11th Street there is what appears to be a hand carved death notice about John Lennon.
I can only make out “John Lennon died tonight” before everything gets too worn down to read. Does anyone know who carved this or what it fully says?
I imagine the person(s) [...]
Not many people like to get wet when they are fully clothed - especially on their way to or from work.
Most people use umbrellas to keep dry and some of these umbrella users just lack any and all common sense as to where and how the use of an umbrella is appropriate.
These untimely umbrella users tend [...]
