The Big Blue Whale
So, I went to New York City last weekend - to visit my parents.
Frankly folks, I just don’t care how bad Bloomberg is, NY is still the greatest city in the entire world. Its a shame what they’ve done to it - I don’t know if the nanyism is worse or the Disneyification of Times Square - but I long for the hot summer days of a time long ago. And to think, my dad used to ride the subway with a .44 Mag Marlin strapped over his shoulder to go upstate deer hunting . . . wish those days were still here.
Took this Saturday afternoon - right before closing (say, 5:25) at the American Museum of Natural History. The Museum the Roosevelts built.

Great shot! That brings back memories– I remember looking up at that same whale, in complete awe, when my dad took me in to see the museum one day.
