New York Adventures

Ashley and Auntie went to New York! Ashley and I have been planning to go forever, and people I know keep moving there, but with her working weekends and me working weeks we've never been able to put together a couple of days to make a visit. Finally we decided that even if I couldn't make it, that shouldn't keep Ashley away and planned a semi-impromptu trip. Thanks to Auntie for going with her.

They met a member of the local constabulary, woefully underequipped to deal with today's automotive criminals.


They went out to dinner with Val, one of the first of our friends to move to New York. Congratulations to Val and Jeff one the purchase of their new place! Good luck moving in, unpacking, etc.

They took a boat tour of the local waterways. They saw this tacky french doodad.



They also saw this important link in the solid waste "treatment" process.

But most interestingly they saw this enormous box of netting. Ashley hypothesized that this is where they pen the giant psychic moths that will be deployed to defend the city from attack by enormous radioactive iguana or enormous prehistoric ape. My theory is that it's a golf driving range. Further research may be necessary.

  1. We had lots of insect this size in Springfield across the street from our house in the lot next to Maple grade school. They are great deep fried.
    Ashley and Claudia couldn't avoid the police, even in NYC! Too bad. The netting was probably to keep the new breed of flying rats confined (they recently crossbred with rats in a genetic experiment).
