GGP: whiskery face-wires!

in response to pensive technology

GGP: glad you posted these, Peter. But I am surprised you did not include the old architectural elements they've added to the first level, where the token booth is. Eastern Parkway was the first-ever Parkway in the US, I do believe. See ya on the 2!

in response to The Next Stop is... Brooklyn Museum, Eastern Parkway...

elaine: hah! not so blonde now, eh? that piece has got 700 something hits to date, crazy - you would think if the bad spellers find themselves being hoodwinked there would be (badly spelled) angry comments though

in response to mixed messages

Peter: according to the "top searches" in the column over to the right, sixy is now the third most popular search on here. lol...

Peter: i went to a rave in queens once... ahh, but it was back in like 1997.

in response to Who else smiles when they see this sign at Times Sq-42st Station? NYC

Peter: made me think of this: read more here: www.dailyheights.com/archives/20 . . . 5/05/local_streetcor.html

in response to 125th street and 5th - broken crosswalk

Peter: zombie commuters! thats that then. i shall make a photo a day of these commuters.

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

Not important: A house divided against itself, cannot stand.

in response to Humboldt Park

Peter: perhaps my seething sarcasm didnt come through correctly ;)

in response to you like my sweater, dont you?

elaine: yeah, you made a good thing peter

in response to pensive technology

elaine: as am i. classic crab

in response to Plum Beach

GGP: i think kc meant 'flipping them over' as in rescuing the upsidedown ones to help them out. :)

in response to Plum Beach

elaine: yep, kc's right, that's the undead alright, but they don't look too unhappy

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

elaine: that seems a bit wasteful. there is also a thing which is about having a hole at the back of a ring for the gemstone to radiate it's vibe into the wearer - less wasteful. i had a moonstone ring once with an open back. i think it made me...

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

elaine: you frighten me peter. that is tantamount to saying you like the jumper

in response to you like my sweater, dont you?

elaine: ha ha, yeah ok. is your printer broke?

in response to freudians Vs olympians

olly: Natali, I am trying to date some Bristol Balloon Fiesta photos that I have and by coincidence have a few good photographs of the blue balloon in your second photo. It says "National Garden Festival Stoke on Trent Staffs 1986" So I guess your date was correct.

in response to Balloon Fiesta in the late 80\'s.

Peter: i think its funny that, when they installed the interfering scaffolding, that they simply removed the top bolt and flipped the sign down, as opposed to taking 2 more minuites and just moving it down the pole two feet.

in response to Scaffolding

Peter: at the moment i snapped this photo, my bus was waiting at a red-light, pointed almost directly east, straight towards manhattan. if you follow the train-tracks in that direction, they dead-end at the wtc station, though they pass through many tangents and stations before that.

in response to Newark Bridge

Peter: spiderman? do tell!

in response to Russian Signage in Local Hospital

Peter: one thing i love about this site is that someone can post photos of a catenary wire in london, and someone can answer back with a similar photo of the same obscure thing in japan. it is indeed a very small world, and citynoise helps reveal so many subtle nodes...

in response to pensive technology

Peter: if you flip them, they lash their tail around and around until they are able to flip themselves over. they are very protective of their undersides, and as such, have adapted to become very good at flipping themselves right-side up...

in response to Plum Beach

Peter: perhaps I will start making such photos every day when I pass through there, and leaving them for y'all to analyze for interesting tidbits. often, its interesting to hear about what other, fresher eyes have to say about the content of the photos of thigns i pass nonchalantly each day. so,...

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

Peter: this made me think of the ayurvedic tradition of eating ground-up gemstones in order to balance internal distress/maladays.

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

Peter: TPA is a very busy airport, and the concourse i flew into is a very busy one, doubltessly 24/7/365, as it caters to a majopr airline that has one of its major hubs there in tampa. i bet that very precious few minutes pass in a day when someone (or...

in response to Tampa Airport Bathroom

Peter: ...oh, and regarding haunted... i dunno about the intrepid (but its possible, as it returned to its current anchor point a victim of two wars and the associated death/gore), but many would say that "The Fryingpan", another old lighthouse boat permanently anchored nearby actually is haunted... it was ressurected from...

in response to Empire State Building Spire:

Peter: ahh, i used to live in that part of town, right near the aircraft carrier- which is called "The intrepid", btw... you can see more about it here: www.intrepidmuseum.org - there are lots of nice airplanes on the carrier. its sort of an air/space museum. i went to a party...

in response to Empire State Building Spire:

Peter: i like the navajo-esque pattern on the sweater.

in response to you like my sweater, dont you?

Hazy: backing the Id all the way.: Elaine will u make me a card of this? I want to give it to my shrink. otherwise i'm feeling compelled to steal ur idea and pass it off as my own witty observation,i like the title too, most post. obviously this kind of dishonesty would be detrimental to...

in response to freudians Vs olympians

Peter: ...and how the No Parking Sign looks today:

in response to Lionel Richie Paste-Ups

A.Human: mind rose fish life grows death flowering flowing floundering finally fully free

in response to today

Lili: No words.

in response to things i meant to say...

Lili: Wow. Leonardo kept the Mona Lisa when he fled. He had it with him when he passed in France. We are told that he felt that he was incomplete. Some history is clearly accurate, some we might take with a really big chunk of salt.

in response to things i meant to say...

Lili: Our dreams and what we refer to as "waking reality" are linked in a way that is useful. We can hypothesize from intuitive awarenesses that are derived from consistant rules, rules that are related to how we dream and to how see "waking reality," these rules offering guidance realted to all...

in response to things i meant to say...

UNION MADE: free skert

in response to Graf Trux 1: San Francisco

elaine: they have a special aura, swans. in the water they are like angels, but at the same time they are very solid, nothing etherial about them on land. here they are protected by the crown, not out of conservationist reasons, but traditionally the only person who has a right to...

in response to swans throwing shapes

elaine: yeah, an inversion of everyday rules

in response to Scaffolding

elaine: actually after looking at cyanotypes again, these look like a weird hybid, like the people are walking out of a blueprint - conceptually dreamy

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

jeeff: wow, i'm learning a lot about horseshoe crabs. thanks!

in response to Plum Beach

Lili: Anything scary is an oppourtunity to transcend; to become something new, stronger. These emotions have messages that if we are determined enough to heed, not through force but through intently listening, we find strength. And, here, strength may not be what at first we assume that it is. Namaste.

in response to swans throwing shapes

Lili: Master of the typo, should read: "As an example, an isolated example amoung many changes that are hapenning simultaneously, if one tastes a certain food what I will call "muscular 'modal tension'" will vary significantly."

in response to swans throwing shapes

Lili: Elaine excellent phrase, very nice: "suspend some disbelief for"

in response to swans throwing shapes

Cincinnati: Was doing some research and stumbled upon this blog. My o my the hatred people. It makes me glad my 'Mick ancestors (local terminalogy for Irish descent) came to the states. Cincinnati via Broooklyn NY. Even AFTER the darn famine. Circa 1900. Grandpa ended...

in response to Urban Street Propoganda

Lili: I believe that there is something to these tests because I have found that when "tuning into the body" that there are states that can be made overt that are normally subtle, and these states are highly variable. As an example, an isolated example amoung many changes that are hapenning simultaneously,...

in response to Urban Street Propoganda

Lili: I skipped forward, must read the rest of this thread.

in response to Urban Street Propoganda

Lili: Elaine, Try putiing a 'twist' of lemon or lime in the tap water - it complements the taste, tends to disinfect and provides some good vitamins. Also, if you boil-down tap water you will see that there is a mountain o' disolved solids. Lili

in response to Urban Street Propoganda

kc: I was thinking they look almost like ghosts, bright ones. But maybe that's because of WTC...

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

kc: well, once you start handling them, you can get obsessed with turning them over. I'm not sure if this is good or not! I didn't know they could get that old. They seem to get to people. I was flipping them last time I was out there and a woman...

in response to Plum Beach

rita: horseshoe crabs are actually nothing to be afraid of. they don't have any teeth (their mouth contains bristle-like things that rub together to grind up food) and do not sting at all. their pinchers don't hurt. they're basically harmless. there are horseshoe crabs at the ny aquaruim that you can...
