The Sunnyside Train Yard, Queens, NYC is comprised of 180 acres, which is six times the footprint of Hudson Yards, twice the size of Battery Park City, and 30 acres larger than Roosevelt Island. As with the other yards (Atlantic & Hudson), Sunnyside is also slated to have a platform constructed above it, so as to further erect buildings and roads atop that. For several years now major realtors have been building properties around the perimeter of the Sunnyside Yard. They're all like vultures, waiting on the kill.

This plot was to have been a 17 story hotel, though as with many sites there was either a stop work order, or the deal fell through completely.

I feel how this section of Long Island City is on the brink of blasting off on the super sonic gentrification rocket, as the LIC BID expanded into this area, and the building pace will increase significantly in 2026.

William Tarr’s 1974 weathering Cor-Ten steel black sculpture stands atop the plaza of Martin Luther King Jr. High School down the street from Lincoln Center on the Upper West Side at 66th and Amsterdam. All four sides of this cube include important dates in the life of the civil rights leader as well as famous quotes.
The cube is also covered with lots of cryptic initials. BTWHS/MC/CTS/BU is a list of his schools: Booker T. Washington High School, Morehouse College, Crozer Theological School and Boston University. SCLC/MIA are the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the Montgomery Improvement Association. On another side are the initials of his family: CSK is Coretta Scott King, and and a block with his four children: Yolanda King, Martin Luther King III, Dexter King and Bernice King. ‘RDA stands for the Rev. Ralph D. Abernathy; ‘JJ for the Rev. Jesse Jackson and ‘BR for Bayard Rustin. Among the dates in his life are 12/10/64, for his acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize and 4/4/68 for the date of his assassination.
“Let us be dissatisfied until every man can have food and material necessities for his body, culture and education for his mind, freedom and human dignity for his sprit.”

About the Artist:
William (Bill) Tarr (1925 – 2006) was a sculptor, painter, photographer, magician, bestselling author, husband, father, and dedicated artist for over 50 years. His monumental public works have been seen by millions from all over the world, and his 30 x 30 x 30 ft. welded steel memorial to the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King is perhaps New York City’s most renowned public work. Yet, Bill remains relatively unknown.

26 de Março - Aniversário de Porto Alegre
[Rain at Historic District of Porto Alegre]
[March, 26 - Porto Alegre's Birthday]
I took a similar photo of an Asclepias physocarpa which is a shrub in the Milkweed family that is native to South Africa. For obvious reasons, Annie's Annuals in Richmond calls it the "Family Jewels Tree". I posted a similar photo a couple of years ago with foliage in the background. I think I like this one better with the setting sun illuminating it against the blue sky.
Little did I know what was coming down the pike.
What I hadn't known about was how side effects become cumulative following each successive treatment, meaning they build up incrementally over time. So #4 had actually been round #1 thru round #4 "compounded". Hit me like a sledgehammer
NO ONE INFORMED ME OF THIS INFORMATION. NO ONE
THEY'RE TOO BUSY TO INFORM THEIR PATIENTS??
This information is something cancer patients should be made aware of, in advance, yet no one informed me. I learned from my own first-hand experience and research. So, so wrong
My Principal Healthcare Proxy, forever best friend of 35 years and retired 42 years Professional Registered/Oncology (Cancer) Nurse at various NYC hospitals and I discussed much and I moved forward with my intent to see this through and met with my medical team to request a reduction in Kemosabe dosage levels for the remainder of my treatments, of which their are two, and they agreed.

DeWitt Clinton (March 2, 1769 – February 11, 1828) was an American politician and naturalist. He served as a United States senator, as the mayor of New York City, and as the sixth governor of New York state.
"Success is not about beating others, it's about becoming the best version of yourself."
~ DeWitt Clinton
He was born in Little Britain, New York, which today is a hamlet in the western part of New Windsor. He attended Kingston Academy and began his college studies at the College of New Jersey (now known as Princeton University) before transferring to King's College (which was renamed Columbia College, and eventually Columbia University, while he was a student there; Clinton was in the first class to graduate under the school's new name.)
"Dream big, believe in yourself, and make it happen."
~ DeWitt Clinton
Clinton shaped the history of New York in the first decades of the nineteenth century. Best known for his indefatigable efforts to build the Erie Canal—derided as “Clinton’s Ditch” by opponents. The canal was completed in 1825, and transformed the nation, as the canal was the first navigable waterway connecting the Hudson River to Lake Erie, essentially providing access from the Atlantic Ocean to the upper Great Lakes above Niagara Falls, vastly reducing the costs of transporting people and goods across the Appalachians. The Erie Canal accelerated the settlement of the Great Lakes region, the westward expansion of the United States, and the economic ascendancy of New York state.
As mayor, Clinton established the New York public school system, and literally helped to shape the city by appointing the planning commission that plotted the grid of streets and avenues. He advocated social reform and promoted a number of cultural institutions, including the New-York Historical Society.

Google Sky Map uses some very cool core-technologies that's in all androidphones in order to bring you one of the coolest Star maps to date.
The idea is outlandishly simple. Just point your phone at a cluster of stars and Sky Map shows you a detailed map of all the stars names and even constellations.
You can also search for things on the night sky. If you do a search for Mars and you don't have the phone pointed at Mars at the moment the phone will display an arrow on the screen for. You simply move the phone in the direction of the arrow until you find what you're looking for.
Very cool.
My apologies, but we don't have that information and are no longer covering this medication for you
Welp, I will hold while you speak with your supervisor and you both listen to my phone call from last week.

"Life imitates art far more than art imitates life" – Oscar Wilde.
Oscar Wilde’s famous quote suggests that art shapes our perception of reality more than reality shapes art. Rather than merely reflecting life, art actively influences how we see, interpret, and experience the world, guiding our emotions, behaviors, and even societal norms.

When I got up this morning, none of the other ladies were in the living room area, and I saw this beautiful scene out the window. It wasn't a lot of snow, but with that red barn-style building, the scene seemed perfectly serene even before coffee. I used Toolwiz to add the borders and trim.
Good morning, yesterday
You wake up and time has slipped away
And suddenly it's hard to find
The memories you left behind
Remember, do you remember
The laughter and the tears
The shadows of misty yesteryears
The good times and the bad you've seen
And all the others in between
Remember, do you remember
The times of your life (do you remember)
Reach back for the joy and the sorrow
Put them away in your mind
The mem'ries are time that you borrow
To spend when you get to tomorrow
Here comes the saddest part
The seasons are passing one by one
So gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life
