This means YOU. (Sterling Pl. near Brooklyn Ave., Crown Heights, Brooklyn.)

Glamour and pain: restringing 600 feet of Xmas lights.

Support struggling readers and writers (found in Prospect Park, Brooklyn).

A show last night had a reference to a church “seniors bus” that I cluelessly though meant a youth group, so your ad must be for me.

One of the many clothes moths, living right outside our building’s windows and hall doors, that we fight all year with caulking, taping, bagging, taping, spraying and, most of all, endless vacuuming.

Verrazano Bridge, oc-cloud-ed now before tonight’s storm.

Our building told us on Saturday to stop using our kitchen drain thanks to a downstairs clog, so I did this for three nights. They failed to say the clog had been fixed the same day!

Browsing for recent books I’ve worked on

A fine opening last night at 440 Gallery for @remotelyjuliet.bsky.social

We tried to make her poop gold; instead, she only shed it.

Goodbye Boot, our lovely cat for 15 years, 3 months, and 29 days. In recent years, she shared a ping-pong ball's worth of fur to be vacuumed daily from our floors.

@remotelyjuliet.bsky.social’s having a weaving party while I work today. I may need this 2008 classic, www.instructables.com/Laptop-Compu...

Dreaming stars, sleeping on @remotelyjuliet.bsky.social’s “Rosie the Riveter” ankle prosthesis.

Carrot fishing net, from friends’ visit a few days ago to Halong Bay, Vietnam.

Soooo oooold, with @remotelyjuliet.bsky.social

Artists ( @remotelyjuliet.bsky.social ) make the best backsplashes.

Josh Brundlecat.

During one of our coop building's board-of-directors Zoom meetings, one of the members urinated on camera. Still don't know if he was channeling Andy Kaufman, or just didn't give a shit.

Windmills as turbines, 1887:
"Before the world is many generations older, more attention will have to be given to the question of yoking the great forces of nature to our machinery." -- NYT

#JoanRivers did NOT grow up in #Brooklyn's #TurnerTowers Apt 107. That 1940 Census column is labeled "number of household in order of visitation"; it's not her unit number. (Example: ours is 16C). I will rediscover the 107th visited in our 200-unit building, where the Census found that 1st grader.

Recent books I’ve worked on.

Bird Flu Egg and Cheese How worried should we be? And more links to start your week.

Bird flu shuts down NYC poultry markets (and found in zoos), just when I was planning on shopping locally for soup hens: hellgatenyc.com/bird-flu-egg...

10 Detroit Red Wings matryoshka dolls, arranged from large to small.

My onetime sports interest: Detroit Red Wings because my crush loved them. She agreed to a date . . . to come out to me. After barhopping w/ her and her gf I found myself waking in my bff's bed, my glasses lost, after a cry, w/ my friend shaving ginger into my tea while playing McGarrigle Sisters.
