Every October, I eschew the holiday that’s coming our way. I vow not to pay attention to the goblins and ghosts, the witches, and Spidermans. Yet, here they are. Boo!
Can’t turn away

For an opinionated woman such as I, blogging is an excellent outlet. This is one of many fori that I use to bloviate. Enjoy! Comment on my commentary.
Eye catching
It’s always in the details…
A tale of 2 cash registers:
God*spots aka sun in the clouds
Halloween deco: it’s hard to turn away
River to the east
Observing
Tugboat
UNITED NATIONS & environs
Sadly, too
Unprincipled men (and women) take advantage of the chaos that they themselves create to lead us to our own destruction.
They create nothing but the paving stones of political unrest; these stones pave the road that leads us to autocracy.
We walk this road when we allow politicians to disrupt our civic unions and break the rules we made as a nation of the free and wreak chaos in public institutions.
Democracy is imperiled. We need to walk the road that will keep it strong.
American democracy needs us to stay on the straight and narrow.
Shuttered
In other closings news, The Meat Ball Shop on 76-77 and 2nd Avenue is no more. This “mail stop” removed itself from 1st Avenue (thus technically forfeiting its name) several years back. It was never customer friendly so I am surprised it lasted this long.
Do not go by my judgment. When this joint opened, with its games and eats, then drinks and games, I questioned its business model. Still standing and expanding!
Stylish
There is a building close by which adds a glamor to the neighborhood.
It’s angular and furnished with full frontal balconies, which double as fire escapes. Its stucco covering gives it a sunshiny elegance.
The appeal is real
It took will power.
I walked down the whole block without snapping a single shot.
