Radish Season. No, Dock Season.

Radishes are in season at the Union Square Greenmarket

Masts of Lightship Number 84

Lightship No. 84, also known as the St. Johns Lightship, was built in 1907 and sailed for 58 years, when it was decommisioned. Lightships were the equivalent of lighthouses at sea. For most of its life, Lightship No. 84 served off Brunswick, Georgia, and at the mouth of the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, Florida. How it got to Red Hook, specifically the dock of the now bankrupt Revere Sugar plant is a convoluted story. You see, it all started when... oh, here, read the Times article from last August, or take a look at more pictures.

This is today's bonus photo:

The woman at the P.S. 321 Park Slope flea market who was selling the wig, and perhaps the mannequin, was laughing to the point of hysteria when she saw me taking the photo. I took another for her amusement.

I've been staring at that manequin every weekend for the past month or so. I find it so freaky looking.

Does it have the same wig every weekend? I was tempted to buy it, the mannequin, if only for the experience of having people look at me carrying it back home.
