| Deb like penguins, so we've been to visit these a couple times, at the
Central Park Zoo: |
 |
| There's a band called Brasilia which i discovered years ago on the
old mp3.com,
back when it
was all tail. To my delight, they turn out to be local (Brooklyn) so i
was able to go see them play a block from my LES apartment, and dragged Deb
along: |

A guy i know, Dick Fischbeck,
makes these geodesic-like domes with a random arrangement of circles.
I found one of them at a local gallery - shapshots are from Deb's picture

For Earth Day, we went on a bicycle ride around Manhattan - something like a
Critical Mass in that we did take over the road - then ending up at an Earth
Day fair in Central Park: |

|
I went on several Critical Mass rides this year in Spring through Fall, and
some other interesting rides, like a 'Green Apple' tour led by Wendy of
Green Maps, coincidentally my
neighbor on Essex St. This tour goes around the LES, East Village and
lower Manhattan, highlighting point of ecological interest and history -
community gardens, energy-efficient construction, composting parks, etc. |
