Horseshoe crab in the train tunnel

This morning, I was surprised to find

a dead horseshoe crab

laying in an underground tunnel at the train station

in Douglaston, Queens.

Someone must have tried to bring the poor crab home

and then realized it had died

The tunnel smelled the beach at low tide.

Sad.  

Scary Statue

I was walking in Queens today

when I came upon this stone statue

(actually, there were 2 of them--one on each "pillar" at the house)

AND IT TOTALLY FREAKED ME OUT.

It made me wonder if the owners liked the image

Or if it was some kind of a memorial

A boy-angel and his puppy...

Flavor of the month

I visited a coffee shop in Queens today.

The flavor of the month is Raspberry Mocha.

I prefer plain, unflavored coffee.

Straight up--no sugar, no milk.

Strong enough to rip the enamel off of my teeth.

True story.
