Apparently Truckers often tie stuffed animals, such as teddy bears, to the front of their trucks for a variety of reasons, many of which are rooted in personal expression and tradition.

I 've been told somewhere behind that hill lies the San Andreas fault. There are quite a bit of crazy rock formations in this canyon near the town Mecca, CA. I need to come back here to explore a bit more. We made a short cut through this rugged canyon to the Salton Sea from Joshua Tree NP. The canyon itself is quite unique reminding me of the landscape in Death Valley.
Got a great deal on Madame Butterfly during its Black Friday sale. It turned out to be a tragic story. But I liked the venue and performance.

This pack could benefit from some more interesting subjects, but I like the possibilities.
Some neighbor in Alamo, CA has a huge backyard filled with statues of animals like this. This particular sheep caught my attention as it looked comical, not that I would want to own one like this for my sleeping aid.

Giulia Cenci
secondary forest
April 2024 – March 2025
Location
On The High Line at 24th Street
Giulia Cenci creates elaborate sculptures and installations by fusing industrial elements and organic forms, arranging them into jarring compositions that invite viewers to question human’s relationship with nature. Cenci’s work features animals, plants, and human appendages cast from melted-down scrap metal, reusing found objects, agricultural tools, old machinery, and car parts. These seemingly disparate elements are then hung, suspended, or pierced together like pieces of meat, morphing into a wild habitat void of hierarchy—where a human bone is treated with the same care as the branch of a tree or a wolf’s face.

Once a month for brunch I have a spinach omelet. But I hardly ever have hash browns. And my bread intake is very limited these days.
A few months back I wrote and sent a letter to His Honor Zohran Mamdani, the current Mayor of NYC, outlining how the City could generate revenue:
1. Any motorized open-aired vehicle requires a license, registration and safety helmet, i.e. motorized scooters and motorized bicycles. Motorcycles required them. Why not these? Many times I see two on a scooter, with the adult wearing a helmet, and the child not. Crazy.
2. Ticket any vehicle which displays a florescent vest on its dashboard, draped through it's car door, or mounts a traffic cone on its hood. There's no free parking. Enough with this silliness.
Never received an answer. Wasn't expecting one. Onwards...

About the Queens Boulevard Viaduct
Completed in 1917, the Queens Blvd viaduct runs for an eighth of a mile along the center of Queens Boulevard between 32nd Pl. and 47th Street. Its most defining feature is the hundreds of arches with a mysterious resonance that changes from the center of each arch to their edges; at points the echoes overlap, propelling the resonance back and forth between each arch — something that can only be experienced to believe. This Resonant Space is a NYC treasure.

The Nexus 4 camera has this interesting built-in function where you could take a series of overlapped shots of your surroundings from top to bottom and left to right so that the phone would create 360 degree image automatically. For this image, I just stood at one spot and took a series of shots of my surrounding. I did not cover the top and bottom entirely only to a certain degree where the sun was included. With a 2D viewer, this is what it looks like. It 's pretty cool and my wife' s iPhone does not have this feature built-in.
The more I use the smartphone camera, the more I like it. I think it will eventually replace all the point and shoot cameras.

If you have a NYC Transit reflective vest, you can seemingly park anywhere for free in all of NYC. Seems to also work for construction workers' vests/placards
Who's to say these people even work for NYC Transit, or in construction for that matter. Apparently it works, as I walk to/fro my place of employment every day and see this all the time

Overview of 7 Train Upgrades in Queens
The 7 train line, which connects Flushing to Midtown Manhattan, is undergoing significant upgrades in Queens, including at the 33rd Street–Rawson Street station. These improvements are part of a broader initiative to enhance the subway system's infrastructure and accessibility.
Key Upgrades at 33rd Street–Rawson Street Station
Accessibility Improvements
ADA Compliance:
The station is currently undergoing renovations to become ADA-accessible. This includes the installation of elevators, which is part of a larger $6 billion investment in accessibility across the subway system.
Elevator Installation:
The contract for adding two elevators at the station was awarded in December 2023, with work expected to improve access for all riders.
Structural Enhancements
Temporary Platforms: To accommodate construction, temporary platforms have been set up at the 33rd Street–Rawson Street station, along with other nearby stations.
Service Changes:
As part of the ongoing upgrades, Manhattan-bound 7 trains are skipping the 69th and 52nd Street stations through early 2026. Riders are advised to use nearby stations like 74th Street–Broadway and 61st Street–Woodside during this period.
Timeline and Impact
Construction Duration:
The upgrades are expected to continue into 2026, with various phases of work being coordinated to minimize disruptions.
Customer Experience:
These improvements aim to enhance the overall customer experience by providing better access, improved safety, and modernized facilities throughout the 7 train line.
These upgrades are crucial for ensuring that the subway system meets the needs of all New Yorker's, particularly those requiring accessible transit options.

History of the Starbucks Siren
INSPIRATION
The siren was created by Terry Heckler, a corporate artist and creative partner of Starbucks founder Gordon Bowker. Heckler was inspired by a 16th century Norse woodcut of a two-tailed siren. The siren's hair is similar to ocean waves, a reference to Seattle's (in the U.S. State of Washington) proximity to the sea.
MEANING
The siren is a metaphor for the siren song of coffee, luring people to the brand. The siren's mythical and mysterious appeal is intended to convey the idea that Starbucks seduces coffee lovers. From European myths and alchemy, her two tails represent dualities, such as earth and water, or body and soul
DESIGN
The siren has been updated over the years, but the siren remains at its core. The latest design includes asymmetry, such as a dipped nose on the right side of the siren's face. This was done to avoid making the siren look too perfect.
