Bloomberg supports the Highline

Mayor Bloomberg posed for a portrait project supporting the Highline project, along with 800 others (including myself).

Eww bugs!

OK, this big green bug came to visit our apartment window on Sunday. I'm not sure what kind of bug it is, but it sure is primitive looking. If you know what it is, (it's not a praying mantis) drop a note in the comments section. UES, NYC 8/19/07
