Piper Meets Uncle Pete
During my Dad and Brother’s stay, we were able to hang out with Piper, on several occasions. It was pretty clear that she remembered Grandpa Breinholt. She took right too him. She even snuggled up to him and was about ready to take a nap on him, the first day that we went up to…

Revolutionary War Sites
Wally and Pete flew in late Wednesday night (late). That didn’t stop us from getting up with the Sun, on Thursday to pack in a full day. We started out (after seeing Piper) in lower Manhattan. Here is a shot of My dad and brother Pete, at Alexander Hamilton’s grave (at Trinity Church). How funny…

Nice weather for ducks (and ruining a set of bearings)
Yesterday was the final weekend of 2009 Summer Streets. It just happened to coincide with the weekend that my dad and youngest brother were in town for the tour-de-revo-war ’09. It wasn’t the best of weather, in fact Hurricane Bill threw a pretty nasty burst at us the previous night, taking out 500 trees, in…

Three Day History Tour, beginning tomorrow
I read the book “1776” earlier this year. So did my dad and my brothers. It was all part of a plan hatched by my dad. The idea was that we all read the book together, then have a pow-wow, here in NYC to visit the local sites that we all read about in the…

Pixada legal da semana
This one comes to us from Bigbozo’s flickr. It is in his South Wales collection. It is unclear who the artist is. But I’m totally digging this Audrey stencil.

D&G’s Bonaparte Campaign
Wow. I mean, I could understand when Triple 5 Soul brought back the WWII style military look. It was fairly low key. Mostly just different shades of khaki and green, with a fake patch here and there. But D&G has out-done themselves, here. They decided to take the military theme back a couple of centuries,…

La Musica Coolica #38 (Nirvana)
As with probably half, or even more than half of my generation, one of my all-time favorite rock bands is Nirvana. There is nothing that I can write about them that hasn’t already been written 1000 times over. The song that I’m sharing from them, is not actually a Nirvana, song. It was actually written…

NYC Half-Marathon
I was up bright and early this morning, to get to Central Park in time to get some shots of the NYC Half-Marathon, which started at 7 AM. It is a good thing that it started so early, too, since it was such an extremely warm day. After shooting the start, I booked it down…

Camping Upstate
Well, this weekend I was finally able to justify the masses of camping and climbing gear that I dragged with me when I moved to New York from the Rockies. It is a good thing, too, because Reagan has threatened, on a few occasions to toss it all out. Friday night we went camping with…

The most ridiculously cool Street Art I have seen in a while
Once again this comes by way of Wooster, from Traseone. Mini shadow skater stencils. Sick.
