LAST GASP: McGolrick Park Farmers Market

Regrettably I did not make it in time to check this out. I spent the afternoon showing the inimitable Kevin Walsh of Forgotten New York around points green and beyond.* But WarmSleepy got this great shot of one of our local canines enjoying their wares. Great capture!

*Including making the acquaintance of Franklin the pig, a fellow Mets fan!

The best kind of vandalism is nerd vandalism— preferably while employing parlance from the Mendeleev Periodic Table!

This post is dedicated to Pa Heather (who saw fit to give me to give me “boy toys”— including a chemistry set—instead of dolls) for the above “eureka moment” I had yesterday:

This outlaw/gourmand hates salt!

Urban Fur: Dog Day Afternoon

When one thinks of our Bravest, invariably one thinks of dogs. I mean, what would  our bravest be without a canine presiding over the premises? Pretty damned lame if you ask me!

Thus I was pleased as punch when I walked by Engine Company 237 yesterday and spied the above pup performing his duty.

While not a Dalmatian (the breed most associated with the fire-fighting profession) you gotta admit “Mugsy” does have his own unique charm.

It was explained to me by a co-worker that Mugsy was relaxing after a much-enjoyed bath.

As the “face” of this operation I can assure you Mugsy takes his appearance quite seriously.

Especially when it comes to the ladies!
