And on that note, dear readers, I am going to continue doing what I have been doing all day: nothing!* Until we meet again…

*One exception: I did attend (and film) today’s rally at 400 McGuinness Boulevard. You can anticipate seeing it here in a bit!
New York Shitty Day Ender: Live From Newtown Creek

While prognosticated, the rapture did not happen today. Or if it did I was left behind and am ready, willing and able to process copious amounts of photographs and video footage from my Newtown Creek experience. Before we proceed here are some interesting facts/observations:
- Courtesy of a nearby radio station the Kosciuszko Bridge is “live”. In other words when men perform maintenance on it they must be “grounded”.
- The sour mash from breweries which formerly dotted the creek were fed to cows and their milk (which was reputed to taste rather awful) was then sold to orphanages at deep discounts. For this reason the product was called “orphan’s milk”.
- The “product” from our local waste treatment plant is dried into cakes (their words, not mine) and sold on the open market as fertilizer.
- After a week of heavy rainfall Newtown Creek is awash in Coney Island whitefish.

I been working with this nonprofit Hunts Point Alliance for Children. The children (12 -14 years of age) are going to perform Twelfth Night tonight in Bronx and tomorrow in Manhattan… Do you mind posting the link to the play? They have been working really hard and the money goes to a great charity.
Done!

Adoptable Cuties: Kitten Cavalcade At Dog Habitat!
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Crazy Cat Lady, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Earlier this week I was contacted by Jay Lombard of Dog Habitat. He told me they had a few new residents of the feline persuasion. Needless to say I had to make the acquaintance of these guys (and gals) STAT. Yesterday this came to pass. Without further ado here they are!
First up, a trio of kittens found in Queens:
And how can we forget Mangus? The rather friendly (and furry) chap whose image graces the beginning of this post!
You can (and should) see more photos of these adoptable cuties and a few of their canine pals at Dog Habitat’s web site. Otherwise anyone interested in meeting these little ones and giving them the loving home they deserve should contact the folks at Dog Habitat at: rescue (at) doghabitat (dot) org or (347) 203 – 3934.
Thanks!
In closing, I feel compelled to write that tomorrow, May 22nd, Glasslands Gallery will be hosting an benefit for Dog Habitat. You can get more details (and purchase tickets) by clicking here.
