the tyranny of the arched floor lamp is over. had been a sagging nuiscance for years but stuck with it. pulled it out to try and stiffen its resolve but the base wasnt having it. the plastic and the concrete within keeping it weighted complete fell apart so i rid myself of it post haste but not before slightly scratching the parquet flooring. how best to cover that up? its very hard to notice like a couple of inches long and the width of a ball point pen nib, but considering how old this flooring probably is its in remarkably good shape and id like to not notice it.
is it safe to tree again?
Finally reading Sants's Low Life and it has me scouring google maps. I have certainly walked by this building on Division St but I guess never noticed what it looks like from a distance. That or an adjacent building was torn down in the last twenty years.

Brooklyn Christmas Bird of the Year: Red-Shouldered Hawk
Red-shouldered Hawk is not common in the city but as a regular winter visitor may be encountered with the good fortune of the season, like this one perched on a south Brooklyn streetlamp.

Does "funnily enough" ever sound right?
was about ready for a new pair of hikers moreso after i stepped in dog shit and the cleanup took off more than just the dogshit. still wearable but i started looking. i was hoping for something other than the merrell moabs which are fine and you can usually find a good deal on them ive had two pairs but they are kind of drab but serviceable. when ive gone away from them i usually end up with something too stiff, ya know, for actual hiking, and i probably did the same again but i found a good price on these today $76 (!!!) so i figured id give them a go. not my first color option but thats what was available. even has free returns. i did check to see if the seller was legit and according to reddit they are.
