Apparently my ISP decided to smoke crack on their lunch hour and cock up the mail. RL - i saw your email msg but it was sucked back out into the ether - I don't personally know of any bike rentals in the NYC area to recommend, sorry :o( Anyone else reading know of any? Comment away!

But - when in the neighborhood if you've got some time to kill stop in and check out the Socrates Sculpture Park in LI City. Its free, its on the water and they have some pretty neat works now and again.

Also - on a sorta bike theme (i know its a stretch) Manducati Resturant, if its still there was excellent!

Last night was one of the coolest temperature nights in what seemed to be 1 meellion years. Kenny and I took a nice leisurely jaunt along the north shore out to Funchos at around 6:30.

I always try to have my camera with me, because, well, life is beautful. Of course it isn't exactly helpful when you whip out the old camera and it has a stone dead battery.

For whatever reason, i find old bulb lighted signs really appealing. Also the tube light signs from like, the late 50s and 60s. You see them on old pharmacies and stuff in small towns that still hang on to the natural quaintness. For whatever reason, i love this stupid Rocky Point Tire sign. I've seen it 186 times and each time i'm all like 'Hey, you should snap a pic of that sign.' So of course, i'm in the right place at the right time.. with a dead camera battery. Photo courtesy of Kenny's Super-Collosus-Braniac-NonBlackberry-Smartypants-Photo-Camera-Computer that fits in your pocket phone-thing.

I'll have to go back with the trusty, low-tech digi Elph. Nerd.

How great is the lettering on the Rocky Point part?
And those tires.. C'mon.
Beautiful.

I feel like eating Oreos now.

Okay - I totally want this truck. How great would it be to cruise around town in this baby? Drop my little monkey off at school in the morning in it. Take it to the Stop & Shop. 2 words. Sa Weet.
