Hey Miss Heather!

Next to my office in Long Island City is a taxi medallion company and they have a few strays that live there (a nice lady comes by each day and leaves food for them).  Yesterday, as I was leaving work, I saw two furry critters chowing down.  On closer inspection, one of them wasn’t your usual urban fur!

Head over to Vinny’s site and watch this video for yourself. Seeing is truly believing!

P.S.: Thanks for passing this along Vinny!

I dare you to try and dump your garbage into these cans under this fearsome tabby’s watch! I sure as hell didn’t; I toted my coffee cup northward and dispensed it into one of David Yassky’s garbage cans. Hey, at least he was good for something!

I’ve floated this corker (which hails from Bedford Avenue and North 5 Street) to a few friends. Thus far this submission by Larry A is my fave:

Model Shitties Administration?

On December 30, 2010 our Parks person wrote:

…We are doing all possible with the resources at hand.   Right now, Mother Nature giving a few sunny, non-freezing days would be the most helpful thing possible.

On January 1, 2011 Miss Heather writes (on the Community Board 1 Yahoo Group):

Today I saw a tractor cleaning up the sidewalk in front of Jerzy Popieluszko Square and a group of sullen Parks employees with a truck equipped with a plow at McGolrick Park. One employee was complaining on her cell phone that it was cold. Perhaps when our Parks advocate(s) are done pontificating/congratulating themselves and/or making excuses they could see fit to send these people/equipment my direction?

It would appear that Mother Nature not only gave us a few days of mercifully temperate weather but also a snow plow. Thank you, Mother Nature!
