My neighborhood got appled. Is it a good apple? Bad? Misunderstood like Spider-Man?

How is this an acceptable place to snooze?

This is my dachshund’s back end – I’m sitting in this chair.

And this is his little face – through the seat I’m occupying.

Cuddling my space is sweet(?) but being held captive in one position is not my favorite.

This old man loves kombucha. This, from the dog who has mugged me for Sourpatch Kids, should not surprise me.

From the Red Hook > Manhattan Water Taxi. The most sit-down part of today’s 12-mile glorious Summer odyssey.

Williamsburg

Finally saw the big NYC fireworks display. 4 Macy’s barges on the river running simultaneous displays + periodic bursts from the Brooklyn Bridge + dual Jersey City displays in the distance. Ooh, and freaking 3-D boxes in fireworks and a kind of flag display on the bridge.

This city knows how to throw a sparkly party.

Berry watch 2014: I’m going to be sad when somebody eats this little guy.

July

My little peeker (taken yesterday).

There is now a hole within the hole in the lot next to my building.
