First real snow of 2012 for #NYC makes the view outside my bedroom window seem a little nicer....

Posted on 2012/01/21 14:16 pm by thepete

The winter of 2011-2012 is definitely a weird one for NYC, what with the first snow back in October and temperatures only really dropping to normal levels in late December and January and finally second snow well into the second half of January. What's up Mother Nature?

Poor little subway rat, literally dead in the water :(

Posted on 2012/01/04 22:16 pm by thepete

Snapped this just as my train was arriving so I couldn't get a cleaner shot. The rat was lying in a stream of flowing water that ran down the length of the track. Sad little guy. Now he will be remembered. Kinda.

Aw, crap. Winter finally showed up. 20F/Windchill:10F. (Is "showed" a word?)

At least it'll be warming up a bit by the weekend. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out, winter!

The #OccupyWallStreet Graffiti Man gets rebuffed by a local and a fellow #OWS person!

Posted on 2012/01/02 19:32 pm by thepete

It reads:

Dear Fellow Occupy Wall Streeter,

Please stop defacing & vandalizing the neighborhood. It makes the whole movement look bad. (And it makes you an asshole.)

To see what this letter is complaining about, check out my previous pics here:

Some more #Occupy graffiti from last night at the 190th St A train station (this time it makes a good point)

Not a bad point, huh?

I'm all for the cause, but if you want to #OccupyWallStreet you're a bit far north, Mr. Unimaginative Graffiti Person.

Saw this just now on the way down to meet up with TheWife for an evening excursion in midtown. In case you're not familiar with NYC, 190th Street is near the top of Manhattan Island while Wall Street is almost at the bottom of it. Meanwhile, 1st Street is only about a fourth(ish) of the way up. So yeah, the #OWS spray-painter is a bit off.

Sign of the Times: You'd Never Expect THIS Subway Jumper (don't worry--no life was harmed!)

Posted on 2011/12/12 21:01 pm by thepete

Saw this on the way home the night of December 6, 2011. Looks like the cold or maybe the down economy got to be too much for this poor bear!

Here are some stills I took:

FYI, the front-facing camera on my Android phone flips the picture for some reason and the stills were taken with the back-facing camera, so they're not only higher quality, but also oriented properly.  Sorry for any confusion.

The Empire State Building lit up yellow (gold?) and green (from 11/10/11)

Posted on 2011/11/15 22:14 pm by thepete

Not sure why it's got those colors. They seem to change almost every night.
The ESB was lit up blue tonight.
