Some News items. But mainly personal opinions that may be unreasonable, without warrant, meaningless and shameless but relentless and consistent as a blinking light. Of course there is that story about Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier, the guy who discovered and named oxygen & hydrogen and executed during the reign of terror. He purportedly asked a servant to see if his eyes blinked after he was beheaded. No one could prove the story. But maybe we can see after death.

On the Prospect Park Bike Lanes
I cross the PPW bike lane several times a week every week. Believe me when I say how frightened I am by the prospect of having to do so. Do I wait for the light to change? Do I have right of way? Those six feet of walking is so fraught with danger that sometimes I lay awake at night unable to have another thought in my head. It just spins and spins in my brain and of course I can't sleep. I have fantasies that I can't turn my head to see if a bicyclist is coming. I am frozen with terror. Those green lanes, those horrible green lanes turn into vile toothed creatures with claws. Oh the horror. The horror. . .And now my shrink is demanding that I pay more since all I do is talk about bike lanes, bike lanes, bike lanes . . . help.
