Ever see a male housefinch wearing bling ??? 💍
I was spotting a male housefinch the other day, and going through the pics, I spotted a small round object on it’s leg. It doesn’t resemble the typical bands, if it was owned, or a rescue. I guess he’s just wearing his cool bling … 💍

Never Forget – 20 Years Remembered … 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
20 years ? 2 decades ? For some, like me, it feels not so long ago. I’m reminded of this day often, and still have difficulty watching all the ‘pomp & circumstance’ every year. We’re a country that has lost it’s way. We’ve learned nothing during these past […]
The Lawrence house in College Point …
Years ago, while we were repainting, we misplaced a wooden nail that was used back in the 1600’s for building houses. The nail was from what was called The Lawrence House. We lived right next door to the house, when we were living on 129th street and 14th […]

Imagine a city, whose people are so stoopid, the city has to paint signs on the street to remind you that the sewers aren’t trash cans. Now, if they were smart, they’d also install some trash cans here and there … #WeAreDoomed
