See this seat? It is located at the second bench on the Queens-bound platform of Crosstown Local at Metropolitan Avenue. Whatever you do, dear readers, do NOT sit in it. Why, you ask? Very simple. I was sitting next to this guy a short time ago. The operative word in the previous sentence is WAS. You see, I casually glanced over my shoulder to see this gent pull a full three inch long globber of snot out of his nose. Revolted— yet mesmerized— I could not turn away. It was like silly string. Or that magicians’ handkerchief trick. I had to know how it ended. And sure enough, I found out.

Not wanting to sully his slacks he wiped it smack dab on the seat next to his leg. Amusingly enough, after he divested both nostrils of unwanted “material” this chap whipped out a napkin to wipe off his hands and his iPhone. No need to muck up his game of Tetris due to “sticky fingers”, I suppose.*

*Yes, after this rather disgusting public display of personal hygiene (?) he played Tetris.

FOUND IN GREENPOINT: One Happy Beagle

This lovely lass was found by the proprietress of Reclaimed Home. She writes:

Found this dog on McGuinness and Greenpoint Aves wandering around. Female, no tags.

If you know who this beautiful beagle belongs to please email her good Samaritan at: info (at) reclaimedhome (dot) com.

If her rightful owner is not found she will be placed for adoption. If this becomes the case I will post an update stating how interested parties can go about giving this gal the loving home she so richly deserves. In the meantime let’s try to get her home!

Miss Heather

P.S.: On a (somewhat) related note here’s something I learned courtesy of the peeps at Dog Habitat: you can report a found dog via 311!

Hi Heather

I’ve been following your blog for over a year now and I absolutely love it!  I wanted to leave a comment on your recent post about Transmitter Park.  I registered, but I still cannot figure out how to leave a comment?  Help?

Basically my comment is this :  Do you know if there are plans to include a dog run in the new park?

Thanks!

I will take up the matter of comments with this person directly. However, I will answer her second question here and now. No, there will not be a dog run at Transmitter Park.* However, one is slated for Bushwick Inlet Park. It will be located near Bushwick Inlet. The completion date methinks is 2012. In other words, it looks like Greenpoint dog owners (at least the ones up north) will have to schlep for awhile.
