The new toilet paper

2020 was toilet paper; now it’s the same again but with eggs. Right before the prices shot up, I bought a dozen free range organic eggs for $8 on sale, I think at H-Mart in Little Ferry, NJ. A week ago, I went to the commissary on Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn and all they had… Continue reading The new toilet paper →

Actual experience with NYC’s congestion relief zone tolls, a pro and a major con

If anyone is wondering how it’s going now that it’s implemented, I thought I’d leave a few thoughts here. I drive to work daily. I live in the central Bronx and work in south Brooklyn by the Verrazzano Bridge. My commute takes me down the Westside Highway into the HLC Tunnel or down the FDR… Continue reading Actual experience with NYC’s congestion relief zone tolls, a pro and a major con →

Why I voted for Trump

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a political ad this uplifting before. Or that I’ve ever seen an uplifting political ad. This ad makes you feel good. It promotes the idea of leaving behind the fringe lunacy of online political discourse and coming back to a middle ground that advocates for something better, something normal,… Continue reading Why I voted for Trump →

A view of the Verrazzano Bridge and Staten Island at sunset

This is a really nice spot to sit and relax on Fort Hamilton, despite the cars going by on the highway below. There’s fresh air and you can actually smell trees, the grass, and the soil. That alone is a nice change from most of New York. If I lived anywhere nearby, I’d spend more… Continue reading A view of the Verrazzano Bridge and Staten Island at sunset →

Personal reminder to live in the present

Enjoying the sun and warmth while it’s still here

Hopefully this isn’t the last warm weekend we’ll see, but everyone was out enjoying the sun like it was. It was pretty warm if you stayed out of the shade. It was a great day for walking, cycling, and seeing the sites. We took a ride around the park, avoiding the top bit of the… Continue reading Enjoying the sun and warmth while it’s still here →

JD Vance Interview

The man is articulate, respectable, well-spoken, and knows how to carry and handle himself during a friendly interview and a hostile debate. I almost wish he was running for President now, and I’m pretty sure he’ll be the nominee in 2028. Do yourself a favor and listen to the actual debates and speeches. Put the… Continue reading JD Vance Interview →

Tour de Bronx 2024

I think the last time we took part in this event was in 2019. Or 2018. Probably 2018, because we did the Bronx 10 Mile Run in 2019 so we probably trained for that instead. Last time, we chose the 25 mile route and wound up out by Pelham Bay Park, but we haven’t been… Continue reading Tour de Bronx 2024 →

Washington Square Park, September 21, 2024

4K available in the settings if your device can support it. I rode into Washington Square Park and decided to loop around just to see what was going on. Early evening late afternoon around 4 PM or so. I can’t remember the last time I saw the park so full of people. I guess everyone… Continue reading Washington Square Park, September 21, 2024 →

May I have some oats, brother?

Been sick for a few days so I didn’t really go out and do anything this weekend. I did find some weird YouTube videos though, and here’s two of them:

Comment on Orchard Road’s Birds by Jane Iyer

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As a long term (25 years) resident of Singapore I absolutely love these birds, Orchard Road just wouldn’t be the same without them. Please everyone allow Nature to coexist with us humans; we do NOT have the monopoly on this planet! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Comment on Goodbye, Mama Cat by Bradley Farless

In reply to <a href="https://bradleyfarless.com/2023/09/24/goodbye-mama-cat/comment-page-1/#comment-5355">Marie Farless</a>. That's very true. She was always happy and grateful. And she didn't take small pleasures in life for granted, like good chicken and snuggling with the people she loved.

Comment on Goodbye, Mama Cat by Marie Farless

A lot of people could learn valuable lessons from the way mama loved her life. She was such a great source of joy.

Comment on Goodbye, Mama Cat by Bradley Farless

In reply to <a href="https://bradleyfarless.com/2023/09/24/goodbye-mama-cat/comment-page-1/#comment-5353">Writing Flower</a>. Thank you. She was a rescue. She was the kind of cat that never had a malicious thought, despite how poorly she was treated in her life. She was always kind, grateful, and loving.
