Great Blue Heron - Wappinger Creek, Yesterday Afternoon

Memorial Day

We got things together in time to invite a few people at the last minute for a Memorial Day cookout.

Before people arrived we had to prep food and grills. I took a small bench I made and converted it to something useful for barbecuing.

The marble top allows us to use the extra, little grill to do things like roasting peppers or small batches of shrimp, while larger animals can be done on the bigger grill.

Counterclockwise around the table from lower left you see our guests, Capt. Robert, Loredana, Mike (Cara's boyfriend), Cara, Finn, Lasse, and Jennifer.

Jennifer serves up Tuscan style chicken, which is spatchcocked and grilled under a brick.

Capt. Robert and Loredana.

Hell's Kitchen Flea Market

About W39th and 9th in Manhattan there is the Hell's Kitchen Flea Market every Saturday and Sunday from 9 to 5. That's every Saturday and Sunday, weather permitting. Here are a few shots from my visit there last Saturday morning.

Angry Squirrels

This guy came around the side of our house to complain to Jennifer that Biko (our cat) was hunting him down.

See Date

This moron was driving around Poughkeepsie Friday afternoon, on a three-lane wide route 9 in a place where the traffic goes about 45-50mph. Someone pulled alongside him and began talking to him, so they both slowed down, and he handed literature to the passenger in the other car. I guess if the world is going to end you don't fear getting tickets.
