Hey, Hey, Hey
Links to some things I found interesting:
"We Spoke to the New Yorker Who Found a Whole Apartment Behind Her Bathroom Mirror"
"Buck wild: Huge deer seen swimming in Newark Bay from Staten Island"
"Tina Turner says goodbye to fans with doc amid PTSD, stroke, cancer"
Tina Turner has been through it. I'm sorry that she's suffering.
True Facts: Help the Bats! Zefrank compels you.

A conversation with
maitai_1_again last night put an idea in my head, so after I got out of physical therapy I made a brief ride through St. John's Cemetery and took a few photos. (Brief because it may not objectively seem like I'm doing that much in PT but it does tire me out; it's my first week working on the shoulders and arms and hopefully I'll regain more stamina over time.) Although I hadn't thought it at the time, in looking things over later it seemed my inadvertent theme was "odd clothing presentation choices."
This dress shouldn't work like this, the part on the right arm in particular. Also, as pretty as the top of the sculpture is, it seems like someone started losing interest from the middle of the hips down.
This poor woman's breasts. Otherwise, I was happy to find this monument again since I lost track of where she was many years ago and just today found out I'd been off by about 800 feet. Her nose has seen better days, but it was like that the first time I saw her in 2008 too. These days, she still looks good for someone who's been outside in the weather every day for 102 years. If you look at her forehead in higher magnification, you can see swirls of hair.
You can see a closer look at the top of the angel and another angle on Rose Sciortino, plus a night shot of a local parking garage double spiral, at my Flickr.
Also seen out and about:
A simple section marker stone at St. John's. I like the font.
My area is pretty hardcore intolerant of leaving graffiti up anywhere, so taggers have to go out of the way. I saw this on the platform between flights of stairs leading up to the pedestrian bridge over the railroad in my neighborhood-a bridge mostly only locals know about-and shot it at about 2:40 am. If you have to scrawl something on public property, at least make it interesting.
I had a "...wut?" moment seeing these a few blocks from my home: two Alfa Romeos (a Graduate and a Spider) and two Fiats (a Fiat 5000 historical car and a different Fiat 5000). I could never drive something as tiny as these Fiats into major traffic and feel safe.
