The Day There Was No News

Eerie and wonderful. The mood created owes a huge debt to the soundtrack by Ben Frost - Theory of Machines.

Suzy Hotrod.

She's got to be the greatest Rolley Derby queen ever. Without a doubt.

I'm not sure I've ever idolized a sports hero this way before. Possibly Dorothy Hamill, but maybe that was really just all about her haircut.

Ahhh, Paris

I can almost smell the basil on my parents' balcony garden!

311 to the Rescue

Regarding my earlier post...

After becoming enraged about the state of our poop-covered block, I decided to call 311 to see if there was any city service I could access to help the situation. Within 2 days, there was a brand new liter basket on the corner of the street. Now, granted, there had already been a liter basket in place just across Caton Ave...but perhaps some dog owners felt that crossing the street to dispose of Spot and Fido's messes was going just too far.

Now, I might be just flattering myself, but I like to think the condition of the block has improved. Drastically.
