Yet another beautiful fall day, this one with a little bit of crispness in the air. There was a family feeding the ducks and swans, a mere 20 feet from the sign saying that people should not feed the wildlife. It has always been true that we in the glorious People's Republic of Brooklyn are not good at listening to directions. Signaling to change lanes is virtually extinct in this borough, the sad history of the founder of Vox Pop (stealing electricity rather than buying, not bothering to pay inconvenient taxes,) and the local constitutional right to make a u-turn in the middle of the block, are but a few examples.
There's a new addition to the park! A white duck seems to have come to stay. We don't know what kind of duck it is, but Anne says she'll do the research and find out what species it is.
Anne, by the way, is running in the Brooklyn Do-Gooder contest. We're scrupulously voting for her every day and hope that everyone she knows does also. Her full name is Anne-Katrin Titze. The site is: http://www.dogoodrighthere.org/
Anyway, the park is beautiful, but there were two dead raccoons NOT in the Park. I wonder if this is a result of overcrowding or wanderlust, but there were 2 dead ones. One on Parkside Avenue, near Ocean,. The other was on the corner of Beverley and Stratford.
