Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Council bans parents from play areas

Score one for Britain in its contest with the United States to create the stupidest fear-based society. The Watford Borough Council took the lead by banning parents from supervising their own kids in public playgrounds, "because they have not undergone criminal record checks."

The only adults allowed to monitor the kids are idiocracy-vetted "play rangers." The children's parents must "watch from outside a perimeter fence."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Generally I'd say "East Side" or "Upper East Side". I think specifically it might be "Yorkville" but it might be too low for that. [link]

Because books.

I think it's too low for Yorkville. It's sort of the Sutton Place neighborhood, isn't it?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

They're in my neighborhood, AND I know where they go to church. hee.

I need to make one for mac. I also need to really get serious about saving NY stuff so I can make him a scrapbook once we are gone.

I'm starting to have a hard time with the reality of leaving.

Fred - I'd call that Yorkville, but could well be wrong. I know that hospital, went once with my Baxter when his diabetes started transitioning to cancer.

It seems too high for Sutton Place somehow...

The Wikipedia articles seem to put it on the cusp of each. I'd say "its a bridge trashing a chunk of a formerly lovely neighborhoods" Like my neighborhood! [link]

(It's amazing what a bridge or tunnel can do. Above or below you can come back, but right there? It seems to stay good and dodgy.)

Yorkville is a neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. Yorkville's northern, eastern and western boundaries include: the East River on the east, 96th Street (where Spanish Harlem begins) on the north, Third Avenue on the west and 79th Street to the south.[1] However, its southern boundary is a subject of debate. Some sources and natives consider 59th Street to be the southern boundary, while others put it as 86th Street.

Sutton Place is the name given to an affluent street and surrounding enclave of the borough of Manhattan in New York City. In the narrowest sense, Sutton Place is the wide (north/south) avenue located on the cusp of the Midtown and Upper East Side neighborhoods, running from 57th Street to 59th Street, along the East River, south of the Queensboro Bridge;

According to this map: [link] , it could be called part of Lenox Hill.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I want chocolate so badly, I actually called our intern to see if he would bring some in. Happily, he was already bringing some. Tragically, it isn't chocolate I like.

I have a ton of Hershey's bars left over from the s'mores, smonster. If you want to swing by this evening you're welcome to some. Of course, if you can wait that long you can wait to get the good stuff. But, eh, it's here.
