The NYPD have new toys to patrol the US Tennis Open with.

As Tower 7 is re-populated, our DSS Team is busy at work making connections and checking on our users. Great work guys.

This much writing on the street doesn't give you a confident feeling that they know what they are doing out there.

At JpL's funeral today, we came across a wonderful, old Presbyterian church today called St. Michaels.

Hey LF, checkout the biker shack we came across in Cranford.

This just in from our newest RN, KP came across these 2 filthy flies, doing the nasty in the yard ...

Happy 16th Birthday to our beautiful Niece, NaL. We Love You !!!

Here are a couple of pics of me that my honey took, that came out pretty good.

My newest PEZ - Princess Tiana from The Frog Princess

Now I'm getting annoyed. Another spoiled little rich girl ends up dead, and instead of laying the blame on the person who climbed out on a ledge and fell to their death, they want to investigate the club she went to earlier in the night ? Can you imagine that ??? Are they trying to blame someone else for her death ? So what she used a fake ID to get into the club. It worked, she got in, did what you do in a club and went out and partied more when she left. Why can't she just be dead, another stupid mistake made by a young stupid person. Why does someone else have to be blamed for it ?

It was nice to see my friend Johnny 5 today. He stopped by and we had one of our usual Friday lunches at the Chinese place. Just like old times.

I spotted Scooby on the porch checking his Facebook page.

I picked up a special nurse PEZ cell phone strap for our newest nurse KM.

I don't know what to call this, but one of the porters at work actually shaved a bald spot on his head. Me, I'm losing my hair, and this guy, who has a full mop, decides to shave himself a bald spot... go figure. He says he wanted to be unique.... you are my friend, you are.

My honey has been collecting beach sea and river glass. Pretty interesting pieces being discovered. She even has field agents out there picking up pieces for her.

Here's a little history lesson over the building of mosques over the past centuries. My attitude is to let them try to build it. Either the unions will rape them over building costs, or delays. If that's not effective, it wouldn't be surprising to see it have an electrical fire while it's half built. And, for once, I actually agree with Barry, the Socialist. They have a constitutional right to build it, but would it be wise ?

I walked the Tower 7 construction, and they still tell me that people will be moving in there tonight. I'm not sure, but it would be amazing if they do.

Our operators will have a new break area available for them. I had the wrong pic, it's much larger, open and has a few tables. This pic is of the 'copy/print' area.

This is what has become of the old space we used to have there.

My sister just had surgery to repair a torn meniscus. That don't sound good. She's doing OK, and is feeling pretty good so far. Rest up, and hope you feel better. Here's a little something I cooked up to cheer her up.

This video may be corny, but consider the effort, time and commitment that went into producing it. The PEZ song

Here's a great video, sent in by TR. I want your money.  I like the Nancy Pelosi line - 'we have to pass the bill, to find out what's in the bill'. brilliant.

This guy was out front taking a 'rubbing' of the memorial tablet in front of 452. This tablet is part of the 5th avenue emergency exit. This guy then adds color or other elements to his work.

Here's a weird looking motorcycle/scooter I came across. What's with the 2 front tires ???

Local artists were showing off their work by the library. Some nice material. Here's that guitar I posted on Facebook too.

Did my first Android OS upgrade already. Up to the latest FROYO 2.2 Piece of cake. I'm liking this so far. Droid...

The Elusive Sail Capri stopped by the other day. Looking good in his new casual Friday outfit.

It was so nice out, even Code Pink was out doing their thing.

Work continues on the restoration at the Library. Here's some work being done on the flag poles.

We hosted IJ from the UK, as he visited North America. He and CC are working on a large Global project. We enjoyed a lunch together, while CC and IJ rode the Beast.

Hey VO, thanks for taking that group pic of us. Much appreciated. GK is looking good and enjoying the sights too...

Finally they put up a banner at the NY Public Library. The restoration works has been going on for a year already, and now the sign goes up.

This new camera is doing a pretty good job with my macro photos. I caught these 2 spiders doing the nasty in the yard the other night.

Got a couple of new Pez - University of North Carolina 2009 Champions and a special Phillies Phanatic Pez.

I had to do a FCO (field change order) on the poster for JpL. I added in the Big Guy, WFP and TR. It came out real nice. WiIl mail it now.

Work is beginning on the new Malba Pier.

The pipes are really pink, and there's a whole color code chart we need to comply with as well.

Here's a couple of nice sunset shots near the Throgs Neck bridge, and the Ft. Totten jetty.

I don't care what Continental thinks, there is nothing more international than the No. 7 train. Believe me.

This guy is not making his 9am meeting.

LF and me saw RK on our way to Times Square the other day.

Have you ever heard of the Pop Tarts World ? Well, we got one in Manhattan.

Went to see the 40 foot recreation of the famous VJ Day kiss in Times Square.

I also took an upskirt shot, just to have.

Boy is Times Square a crowded place.

Look at the kool new tables at Bryant Park.

Our friend JpL continues to recover from his recent surgery. Things are going to be tough, but he's a tough man. Good luck, we all love you and get well soon. Here's a get well poster we are sending over to help cheer him up.

If Barry doesn't resign soon, we should really try to impeach him, before this country is taken over. Watch this video, from the Patriot Network, that plainly lays out the issue with the Arizona immigration law battle.

From TR, a reminder that we should always Remember Iwo Jima.

I've had a lot of people sit next to me on the train over the years, but this was a first. Had a parrot sit next to me. He even talked a bit for us.

This is what the 1w6 floor looks like now. If all goes right, we move our folks back down in a couple of months.

Seeing a car in the driveway, with all the wheels missing and on cinder blocks, can never really be a good thing, right ?

Finally, they returned the garden out front.

Had lunch with a couple of friends. Can't call them old friends, cause they ain't old. It was good to see everyone. Since Goombazza moved to 10e, we haven't seen each other as often as we used to.

Things and events are beginning to coalesce, so again, I urge patience ... Retired general says Congress should give Obama ultimatum

I've seen that photo from several people of Barry sitting in the Oval Office with his feet up on the Resolute desk. At first thought it can be offensive. That was until I saw other photos of other Presidents doing the same thing. So, I don't think it may be right, but I ain't wasting any more time on that one. Plenty of real stuff to be concerned about, don't get caught up in a distraction meant to undermine We the People as we march towards taking America back. So, patience ....

Just bought me a refurbished Motorola Droid. Can't stand my HTC Imagio running WM6, and need to test drive an android machine.

This little critter was in our yard today. A real nice closeup images of a grasshopper. Pic1 , Pic2

CROSSING STREAMS  band will be back Thursday June 17th at the NYC landmark bar The Red Lion - Location: 151 Bleecker Street (@Thompson Street) in The Village ; Set Time: 7 -10 PM

Back to work tomorrow after 2 weeks of vacation. Checked my Blackberry, and I gots a few messages to catch up on, when I get back. At 444 and counting.

Be sure and bookmark this link. It's a live feed from the 9/11 Memorial and Freedom Tower construction site. You can zoom in, save, print or email the image.

I cobbled together a new patriotic graphic, with a PEZ spin to it. Hope you like it.

I spotted a few of these embedded in the street, along the Malba jetty. What are they for ?

My bride has a nice set of legs, don't you think ?

How about this, a photo taken by the world's coolest uncle of a t-shirt for the world's coolest uncle.

Went to the beach the other day. Had a nice time with my bride and TG.

Any day I go to the beach and see a thong on a thong worthy body, is a good day at the beach for me.

Caught the USPS truck on the way to deliver me my latest PEZ the other day....

We can now view our water meter usage on a daily basis. Some good data is available online now. I had to power wash a couple of areas in the yard, and look at the spike in water usage for the day.

Happy Birthday shout outs to my favorite brother-in-law BA, and my good friend TR. Hope you both enjoy your special day today.

Just wondering, wouldn't it be real cool if Alex Rodriguez hits his 600th career home run today ? It would be so cool, because this was the day 3 years ago that he hit number 500. Maybe this image will help him reach this milestone. He met my great-nieces a couple of years ago in Florida.

Checkout this beautiful red Chevelle we came across today.

We had a nice time at Jones Beach today. Me and my brothers were all together.

We even got to see a bunch of dolphins in the water this afternoon. How cool is that ?

I'm sorry, but I do still miss Dubya. Tell the truth, don't you ???

Checkout the new city website at the DEP that allows you to track your water usage by the day or hour. Prettyslick information provided.

When we went to Sandy Hook, we lucked out and had a room with a view of Manhattan.
