Sea Cow Vagina

Dude, these Manatees had huge furry vaginas.

They were pretty cool.

The Aquarium at Coney Island is sweet. 

There are sharks and penguins and sea lions and jellyfish.

Train Camping

You can take a train directly to the Appalachian Trail from New York City.

Lots of people got off the train, but it really wasn't crowded or anything.

We walked off the trail and found a really secluded place to camp.

It was totally awesome.

There were crazy things growing and living in the forest.  I have spent a lot of time in the woods and still saw many new things!  You should go check it out!

West Side Ladders

Ladders are interesting structures.  They are impermanent, portable, meant to fold up and hide, and still support the full weight of a grown man or woman along with his or her tools.

Their existence suggests the presence of other tools.  They suggest an unfinished project.

Something about this right here is very appealing.  A ghostly picnic?

I watch a lot of Star Trek.  In the "Next Generation" series, there is a metal beam similar to the one laying on the ground here.  Anytime there is an explosion in which parts of a space ship or space station start collapsing, the very same metal beam comes crashing down, either narrowly missing a cast member or trapping one under burning wreckage.  It must have been a pretty pricy beam for the production team to use the same prop over and over.
