its curtains for us.
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.
