“On November 6, 2012, employees from MTA New York City Transit loaded subway cars onto flatbed trucks for transportation to the Rockaway Peninsula. The cars will be used to create shuttle trains that will operate on the A Line in the Rockaways until full service can be restored.”

Casey and Sandy
I’ve been a huge fan of Casey’s work for his curiosity-what-if why-not awesomeness.
Here is the latest video he produced during Sandy. His twitter feed is a must @CaseyNeistat
/His twitter feed pics, latest today on Staten Island:
“do not try this. also, i know i spelled incident wrong. but thank you for letting me know that over and over again. you see, in addition to the entire city being flooded we also lost electricity. editing video is tricky with no electricity. most of this video was edited at a starbucks in harlem, where there was electricity and some corners were cut. all that and i can’t spell very well. i really did think incident was spelled with two e’s.”

I love Jimmy, more than he loves Guillermo in drag.

As a long-time reader of her blog, she is pretty much straight-forward with her thoughts and yes she is awesome. I’d like to share her site (again, if I haven’t already many times) because with the recent marathon cancellation/postponement – when we think of runners and marathon participants, we often tend to think of certain runner stereotype Etc., and she has openly shared her thoughts+feelings about if the NYmarathon was to happen as well as if cancellation happened.
“From the second the news was announced, and for the next few hours, everything exploded — my facebook, twitter, phone, blog comments… Many were apologetic, sorry for me that I couldn’t run. Some were surprised. Others were angry. But I think most were relieved.” –The Marathon Diaries, Part 10: Canceled

Reporting from San Francisco, our thoughts are with the east coast all+any one affected by Sandy.
Okay, that is all for now. Stay strong +be together.
Fist pump for the weekend!

Entre la ceniza y las nubes, se convierten en agua y se evaporizan de nuevo al rededor de los que nunca dejamos de pensarlos, amarlos y extrañarnos. La vida no se acaba.
Trasciende.
Y respira con cada latido de los que aún estamos aquí.
Between ashes and clouds, then into water and then become evaporated to surround those of us that never cease to think of them, love them, and miss them. Life does not end.
Transcends.
And breaths alongside each heartbeat of those of us left here.

A daily celebration of life. A daily re-learning to live and be, pain and grief, love and strength. And a daily appreciation of every-single-thing.
We all experience different paths, different lives, different perspectives yet share the same two parallels, birth+death.
Mission Bicycle has always been a small business very active and involved in the local community and are based out of the Mission District on Valencia street. I am overdue to pay a visit over their shop, but make sure you stop by to see their display of their popular papel picado sometime this weekend. I’d like to thank them for sending these fotos over, David one of their creative crew members hand-drew this, pretty cool 🙂 Very elegantes calacas, I’m sure Posadas would have love to ride this bici. Dia de los muertos bike “We wanted to show our recognition of Dia de los Muertos and it’s importance to our neighborhood, and it seemed only natural that we’d include a bike. So we asked our staffer David, who’s a talented artist, and he gladly took on the project. He went home with a naked white frame and came back with a beautiful artifact for the holiday. He drew the entire thing by hand, covering the bike in images, and then reassembled the bike.” -Mission Bicycle. See complete set here, fotos are also posted on their fb page

Found these teal patches a few weeks ago and just got the chance to snap some fotos.
This mural is alongside McAllister at Divis, right at the west bound Muni bus stop for the 5.
I’m assuming the teal is covering up graffiti but I am completely in love with the unintentional junction and the uneven combination of the blocky teal/mural contrast as a result. /see it in full screen here
Here are some of the detail up close:
