Construction workers wear neon colors, especially neon yellow (safety yellow) and fluorescent orange (safety orange), to ensure they are highly visible on the job site. These colors stand out against the typical backgrounds found in construction areas, such as earth tones and urban landscapes, significantly reducing the risk of accidents by alerting drivers and machine operators to their presence.

I laughed when I saw this today whilst in Jackson Heights, and I immediately thought of you. Oddly I thought your original had been snapped in the Bronx.

We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.

My neighborhood desperately needs additional supermarkets and for the past several years now there's been a huge influx of Asian citizens moving into the area. Whoever's responsible for constructing this Asian-centric supermarket is going to make a fortune

Notice the light on the front of the fountain. That's a reflection from the myriad of nearby glass towers. No longer are they constructing new buildings of brick. Only steel and glass. If you venture into Manhattan on a sunny day, you'll notice squares of reflected light projected all over the place. Only us photographers would take notice of such a thing

I've taken to calling Queens Plaza The Wild West as drivers will run red lights, race down the bike lane, over curbs and down sidewalks, and all in the interest of passing the regular traffic in order to get to the 59th Street bridge, over the East River and into Manhattan. It literally is, The Wild West.

I'm still dealing with the Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) that is a direct side effect from my treatments, which concluded on October 2nd, 2025. Via my own research I have found how the neuropathy should peak 3-5 months following my final Cycle (treatment).

Vault D65 is a reference to Fallout, an action role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. Initially set in the year 2102, players control a resident of Vault 76 who must venture out into the dilapidated open world set in Appalachia in order to re-colonize the region and uncover a mysterious plague that has killed off its inhabitants.

-

Plot:

Twenty-five years after the Great War, Vault 76 is opened up and its residents given the task of repopulating the Wasteland. Shortly after they emerge from the Vault, the player character is contacted by the Vault Overseer. She reveals that Vault 76 was given a secret mandate to secure an arsenal of nuclear weapons deployed throughout Appalachia in three still-functioning nuclear missile silos: Site Alpha, Site Bravo, and Site Charlie.

Deere & Company, doing business as John Deere, is an American corporation that manufactures agricultural machinery, heavy equipment, forestry machinery, diesel engines, drivetrains (axles, transmissions, gearboxes) used in heavy equipment and lawn care equipment. It also provides financial services and other related activities.

-

History (definitely worth a read)

Deere & Company began when John Deere, born in Rutland, Vermont, United States, on February 7, 1804, moved to Grand Detour, Illinois, in 1836, to escape bankruptcy in Vermont. Already an established blacksmith, Deere opened a 1,378-square-foot (128 m2) shop in Grand Detour in 1837, which allowed him to serve as a general repairman in the village, as well as a manufacturer of tools such as pitchforks and shovels. Tools were just a start; the item that set him apart was the self-scouring steel plow, which was pioneered in 1837 when John Deere fashioned a Scottish steel saw blade into a plow. Prior to Deere's steel plow, most farmers used iron or wooden plows to which the rich Midwestern soil stuck, so they had to be cleaned frequently. Deere created a highly polished steel surface that allowed the soil to slide easily. This tool addressed the difficulty of tilling the Prairie State's soil and greatly aided migration into the American Great Plains in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Still dealing with the CIPN (Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy), though I feel how the swelling of my ankles and feet may have somewhat reduced. My toes are still numb. Strangest feeling. Have been trying not to wear socks at all, due to the top part imprinting its line onto my ankles. First world problems in December. Good grief. Keep assuring myself how this will all pass in time, and that I need to remain as focused as possible. That said, I always try and stay prepared, so I've purchased a nice cane on Amazon. I've nothing against aluminum, although, I got a nice one made of oak wood. These things need to be done correctly

It seems I always take my best self-portraits when I've food or coffee or something similar on my face. I suppose it's because I'm so relaxed at the time. It doesn't really matter in the end

Me to Urologist: You said a biopsy, not 12 of them

That's standard.

Perhaps to you. Remember, I'm the patient. Patients need to prepare themselves, psychologically. And please, don't feign that you've no idea what I'm referencing. Seeing how this is Mount Sinai, couldn't you have at least made it 8?

What?

Hadn't Moses ascended Mount Sinai 8x to receive the ten commandments. So, what's next? We need to wait on the results. Irrelevant. What's the next step? A PET scan. Do I need a referral? No. May I schedule one now. Yes.

I need to hit the ground running on this. And the first person I need to confer with is 8,500 miles away from me in Southeast Asia.
