Ok, here is something very funny.....my dad saved these sketches I did as a teenager, for school I believe. The moccasins were mine, I wore them every day. The other shoes must have belonged to classmates.

The recognition thing was for a gifted program but they didn't accept me. The hell with them! 🤣

Anyway, enjoy the 1980's footwear.

old newspaper clipping from The Jersey City News, Friday, August 22, 1902 featuring a headline "NEWS OF THE WHEELMEN / Major Taylor to Meet Kramer Today and Tomorrow in Championship Races. / TITLE IS AT STAKE NOW / Colored Rider May Yet Win Out-Night Races Yesterday on Two Tracks-Notes." Alongside is a cartoon of a man in a pith helmet riding some sort of fictional floating VIctorian dirigible at the front step of a wealthy person's home. Caption reads, "Tramp of the Future: 'Please, mum, can yer give a poor fellow a trifle toward gettin' a noo cylinder for his flyin' machine? This one's got so old an' rotten that there's no knowin' any minit but wot it might bust an' blow me to shivers!'"

A group of bicyclists ride down a street in Trenton, New Jersey, with the remains of an old stone church on the right and modern buildings on the left and in the distance. There are dozens of riders, many of them with signs on their back. Several have signs that read, "ICE OUT NOW". Another "POWER TO THE PEOPLE/MELT ICE". Another has an illustration of Alex Pretti, the nurse in Minnesota recently killed by federal agents with the words "WE RIDE IN UNITY/RIDE TOGETHER/STAND TOGETHER." It is winter; the street is clear but there are piles of snow on the curb.

A man in a high-viz jacket and orange helmet stands besides his bicycle. He has mounted a large,tall cardboard sign on the front of his bicycle, big enough that he's had to cut out a small rectangle at the bottom so that it clears his front wheel and a horizontal slit near the top that he can peer through while riding. The large sign has "RIDE TOGETHER" in large all caps on top, along with an illustration of cyclist Alex Pretti who was recently killed by ICE/DHS agents in Minnesota. The sign features the names of Alex Pretti, Keith Porter, Jr. and Renee Nicole Good, all killed by ICE/DHS agent. Other text "In anger", "In Rage", and "In Grief" are also on the sign. There are other cyclists around the man, listening to a speech on the steps of Trenton City Hall.

Remembering Asbury Park music scene legend, musician and journalist John Pfeiffer, who we lost way too soon a year ago today. I played with John in @ChristianBeach’s live band from 2007 until our last show together in 2015. We recorded a cover of David Bowie’s “Five Years” for a tribute album & played it at the release show in 2008 (Bowie guitarist Earl Slick appeared later that night). John’s on guitar. I’m on keys behind Christian. Good times.

Hudson County alert: ICE is operating in the area, staking out the Hudson–Bergen Light Rail system. Here is a video from earlier today at the 9th street station. Watch at least for the first minutes, it's worth it.

finally some good luck came my way this week.

Was running out of ice melt and couldn't find it anywhere. Got a tip the Home Depot in Woodbridge MAY have some. Since I was going there I went to a Wegmans a few minutes away to get something my wife loves that they only have there... and surprise, they have a pallet of ice melt priced less than Home Depot, if Home Depot even had it.

So if you're in the area looking for ice melt, they had about a dozen bags there this morning.

Window in Public Restroom #nj

Scotchwood Diner, so rare to see such a large source of natural light in a public restroom. They are usually window less closets, or Aquatic filing cabinets for excrement.

"Keeping New Jerseyans safe is Governor Sherrill’s top priority and, in the coming days, she and Acting Attorney General Davenport will announce additional actions to protect New Jerseyans from federal overreach."
