I attended a performance of Aida at The Metropolitan Opera in NYC last week, and as I entered the courtyard at Lincoln Center, I saw this big, bold, gold sculpture on the terrace of the Metropolitan Opera building. I’ve long been a fan of George Condo’s painting, and didn’t realize that this was a Condo … Read more
I was running an errand in Upper Montclair when I passed by this house. I’ve been seeing little library structures outside of homes for years, but this one impressed me as it’s a very accurate copy of the actual home, down to the side porch and blue front door. As long as I’ve seen these … Read more
I’ve seen plenty of Tesla Cybertrucks, and have to admit, I like the look of them. But as I was out and about on an errand, I did a double-take when I saw this Tesla Cybertruck, as it had a custom paint job to advertise the Future Remodeling company. It’s a pretty striking design, especially … Read more
Today has been something out of my normal routine, and these pictures above come from an unexpected stroll through Park Ridge, New Jersey. I’ve been helping a friend by working at her house and watching her dog while she’s away on a business trip. I decided to go for a walk to take a break … Read more

I’m walking down the street and see this blue car from the back; where’s the front? Walking a full circle around it reveals it to be a Snyder three wheel car. More specifically, a 2012 Synder ST600-C, and it is available for sale (price not listed, just a “for sale” sign with phone number in … Read more
I was recently down in the area of Freehold, NJ, and decided to take a look around. Part of it was some real estate research – there were some affordable homes on the market (seen on Zillow), and Freehold is not far from the beach, but I had never been there before and thought I’d … Read more
I’ve had some strange experiences related to the US Mail, or rather the United States Postal Service. But today’s mail brought me an example of the complete disarray and mysteriously unreliable service of the United States Postal Service. In my mailbox today was a letter addressed to my mother with a yellow sticker saying “undeliverable … Read more
