So a DOINK that doesn't actually hit the upright and takes the win away should be called a YOINK

If a cubist depection of women that scared people in 1907 because it looked so much not like actual women scares you I guess it's adult content but the clowns running this website probably like AI generated slop over actual art. Here's some buildings and a Magritte I forgot I guess.

Rene Magritte's Menaced Assassin. A corpse lies supine on a bed toward rhe middle of a room while a man in a suit listens to a phonograph. Flanking each side of the entryway are two detectives.

A look northeast from the Museum of Modern Art Courtyard.

And another view looking roughly west from the MoMA courtyard.

Andy Warhol's Last Supper. It's an outline sketch of the Da Vinci work with GE and Dove logos superimposed over it.

MoMA is really cool everyone. Sampling of what I was able to see including some really cool skyline views from tmin the courtyard.

Perfect morning to hit up Grernacre Park to eat a ham, egg, and cheese with saltpepperketchup on the first proper hard roll I've had in years.

Greenacre park in Midtown East in Manhattan. I am sitting at a small wooden table in front of an artificial waterfall. I am right about 100 feet from 51st street, but aside from the building rising up, it's hard to tell.

And the sandwich as described above. And like how it is scientific fact that a regular sandwich bread sandwich is better in triangles, a bodega breakfast sandwich is better wrapped in wax paper before being cut in half, then wrapped in foil and carried a few blocks before opening so it stays warm but the cheese barely sets a little.

Going to blame my inability to be a morning person on living so far west in the time zone because I have managed to wake up by about seven two days in a row without an alarm in NYC because the sun has been peeking through earlier.

Good lord, NYC area you are having probably even more unhinged political ads than we are back home in GA. (The last few days I have learned that Kathy Hochul and Tom Suozzi are dyed in the wool socialists, which, uh.....)

Not quite Grant Park, but it'll do for morning coffee stroll.

Looking southwest from the Duck Pond in Central Park toward some of the new supertall skyscrapers that have popped up the last few years. (And i hate to admit because the people they were built for are horrible, but i actually kind of like the looks).

Some mallards and Canada geese on the Duck Pond.

Zoomed in on some turts on a log in the duck pond. There are also some skyscraper reflections on the surface of the water, which is extremely still and mirror-like.

Not the route I expected to Manhattan from LaGuardia, but we just turned onto NY 25 and are on the lower deck of the 59th Street Bridge.

Heading into Manhattan on the 59th Street Bridge. Or Queensboro Bridge. Or Ed Koch (I think they added that one recently) Bridge. Not as glamorous as when Kevin McAllister crossed it in Home Alone 2.

We are apparently getting the heart of the side streets of Astoria tour i presume to ghe 59th Street Bridge instead of the Triboro from Laguardia it seems.

Wheels on my big suitcase started seizing and pieces coming off to where I thought my wheels were coming apart.... I have had that bag about 9 years, and almost certainly there was some shipping casing on the wheels that just started flaking off today. Like the film on a washing machine panel.

Fitting my first vacation photo after the obligatory airport beer on a trip to NYC would be....Charlotte Motor speedway (from 1D).

A cell phone camera photo of Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, NC from an airplane window. The sepeedway is just a little below center to the right of a larger cloud and the frontsetrech dogleg is obscured partially by a much smaller cloud.

Bars realized that sometimes dudes/dudettes/folks who use a different preferred descriptor just sometimes want to eat good mustard and started offering stupid giant pretzels, and things were then good.

I know the Lynx are basically this site's WNBA Iggles in popularity, but if they get knocked out, that should make the Dream's path a little easier, no?

We saw a house with one bay window so we called it Victorian in Douglasville, a brick ranch in Austell and bought..... Typical quarter acre new construction in... Hiram.

Episode of househunters set in Atlanta and the buyers want a Victorian close to shops and everything else you would have in the city. What three places do you think they looked?

Philadelphia - Time Lords; grasp 7 points from a null set for the half. Walk off the field with a three point game and a half to play. Dallas - Score too fast; leave just enough time on the clock for an 87 yard field goal and lose. And not just because they're the Cowboys but literally lose.

Could be a lot worse than just down 10-7 going into halftime.

Chicago is the second city because it's #2. Like Ohio State when Michigan beat them at time.

The continued employment of Nick Sirianni is a national security risk.

We all know Chicago is nicknamed the Second City, but what people forget is second to Philadelphia.

Nobody actually likes the Bears they were nothing but a punchline for an old SNL skit really but became some mass hysteria people just believed was real for some reason.

No, if you miss the multiple "Do Not Enter" or "One Way" signs while also missing the arrows on the pavement and angled parking spots begore going the wrong way and almost hitting me and Ruby while we are crossing the parking lot, I'm still going to ask if you saw the signs...

Finally took my old oil to AutoZone (they generally make recycling very easy), got the short change at about 1,800 miles done on the way home, and have a better oil filter cap wrench so should be able to do the whole thing myself next time. Exciting times, I know.

Really wish people in a cubicle offixe space knew that yelling about bullshit makes it impossible to get actual work done.

I do not have any scheduled work stuff today or tomorrow, and I am almost caught up to a decent level on the backlog work mess, so I am going to have a hard time caring until vacation.

Watching the replay highlights of the race, and I dunno, looks like the 77 just spun out to me.

Me, while discussing some trip stuff today: I'm looking forward to seeing how the congestion pricing has made walking better in Manhattan. L: Oh, I doubt it but I'll believe it if I see it. My two friends who live up there haven't seen it. GUESS WHERE THEY ACTUALLY LIVE?

The Phillies now have the chance to do the funniest thing possible. (I'm padres first this playoffs it would appear, but Phils close second). Houston, Boston, New York, Cubs, Brewers, and Braves delenda est.

I know I need this vacation to start (wednesday) and the move at work to finally happen because something I only ever usually enjoy the hell out of annoyed the hell out of me instead. Still managed about 15 miles total today at least.
