Day 2



...and...the balloons are still there! I caught 3 different tourists taking pictures of them. I must say, they looked much better today, against the bright blue cloudless sky than yesterday. They still looked rather sad though.

Today lots happening on the bridge: A bridge worker was patiently scraping gum off the railing. Lots of lost items waiting to be claimed: A scarf was tied to the railing, a fur band was placed on a bench, ...and I found my lost glove! It was wet and mushy, and was in the exact place in DUMBO where these 2 Indian tourist ladies yelled to me asking for directions to get on the bridge yesterday.

Festive Remnants...


I spotted this sad bunch of balloons, more than half were deflated, tragically trapped in the bridge's cables.
Perhaps remnants from a Chinese wedding party on the pier below...

For the rest of my walk to work, I wondered how the hell they were going to remove the offending balloons! I'm going to count the days it will take for them to disappear...stay tuned.

This morning I encountered a people of note. The first one was a guy walking fast and simultaneously reading his newspaper. He almost walked into me.

The second was this foreign couple: the woman was walking with ski poles despite the fact that there was no snow left on the ground.

It was nice to be back on the bridge, it's been a while...

C-C-C-C-O-O-O-O-L-L-D-D!

Brrr...chilling walk over the bridge this morning. For the first part of my walk, I didn't see a single soul! Then, as I got closer to Manhattan, a group of about 50 teenagers and teachers walked by me!

Choppers, Honeycut!


This NYPD "chopper" was going around and around the bridge like a yellojacket around a tunafish sandwhich. I've seen them fly under the bridge as well! I had a distinct feeling that the pilot was watching me.

Here She Comes, Just Walking Over The Bridge



Is it? Yes! It's the blogger herself! Caught in the act of walking over the subject of her blog!
