Lap swim in Central Park 💕 @nycparks.bsky.social you’ve got a wonderful team running this program, it’s been a highlight of my summer 🏊‍♀️

A public pool nestled among beautiful native pollinator plants, lap lanes are visible with some swimmings waiting on the side under an overhang built into the hill.

It has been such a joy to start the days outdoors, birds and butterfly’s overhead,and the sun filtering down through the water. This morning I passed my 25 mile goal 🏊‍♀️ Thanks you @nycparks.bsky.social for bringing lap swim back to Central Park. 🌳

Hey @nyc.gov- Bike infrastructure looks soooooooo good on you!🚲💕 🎶Bike lanes go the left of me, bike lanes to the right. Here I am, on Randall’s Island with you. 🎶

In the far left distance is a bridge with a protected bike lane on the end on the right coming towards the viewer there’s a bike ramp coming down off the bridge and in the center or two cyclist on a bike path With lovely trees and the river off to the side.

The plot thickens… they’ve made it to Sikkim.

Tracking details for Sarah’s AirPods Peo #3 which are in along the main road of Penlong Shotak in Gangtok Sikkim. Lots of vegetation, the area looks like a relatively small. The headphones are just north of the India post office.

Found this little guy in the street a few weeks ago- posted signs but the rain washed away our #. A week later a kid recognized him as their class ‘pet’ & another family who lost him (& frantically looking) wrote their # in our sign. PS the pig was also found. All is right again in stuffie land.💕

A weathered paper signed on a post showing a hedgehog photo and a handwritten “If found please call”

The sweet little hedgehog nestled into a paper bag holding a note

A note with hedgehog paw prints across the top and a photo of a hedgehog in the bottom that reads

“Dear Class,

Wow, what a busy two week’s I have had!
I walked so many hedgehog miles then a 5th grade girl found me a took good care of me - she even gave me a bath and introduced me two her two stuffed hedgehogs who were very, very kind. It was a lovely adventure where I made new friends and told them all about my friends in your class but I am so, so happy to be home with you now.”

A post with a pig in one photograph and a hedgehog in the other saying” lost and found stuffed animals:

Well, looking for a beloved piggy, we found a hedgehog on Lennox(between 111 and)-please let us know if you’ve seen aSPAM written on her foot or lost a hedgehog. Thanks!”

After spending months in Brooklyn my #StolenAirpods were at JFK last week and have now popped up in India. The sting of the theft has been replaced by fascination with their journey...

So happy to bike by my local independent bookstore to get Life After Cars and chocolate. Having just cycled in the city I’m starting with half a bar & Part III: How we get free. @thewaroncars.bsky.social

A long tail cargo bike with the Life After Cars books and chocolate bar resting on the pannier. Of course a parked car is in the background because free street parking is a plague 🙄

Grueling semester so far but I’ve picked up a new hobby: Sandwich bag. Someone/something left this bag containing food on an inaccessible ledge outside my lab. All we can do is wait/observe… Day 34: possible mold developing, the weight still firmly on the edge, wind gusts predicted tonight.

Plastic bag with a hole ripped open containing smaller bags and lumps of stuff on a granite ledge with a black fence directly behind. Wide angle view.

@nypost.com buried the lede 🤦🏼‍♀️ “This bill will make our streets exponentially safer for all: drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists,” Here, fixed it for you:

Absurdly carcentric NY Post headline “NYC would lose 300 K parking spots and $3 billion on this lefty city Council traffic plan” crossed out with people > cars written below.

Small but meaningful ray of hope over here: new containerized trash garbage trucks.
