Time warner cable outage
Forgive the lack of formatting, and the normal presentation- as this message is being sent via my phone. The snowpocalypse, as manifested in the silken lanes of Astoria, has led to a major Time Warner cable outage. Since Sunday night at approximately 11pm, both cable and Internet connectivity went blank. The natives are restless and deprived of emptytainment, whereas I am frustrated by inability to “do my thing”.
I’ll be back as soon as the very worst of New York’s utility monopolies lets me get online again. Feels a bit like the Great Astoria Blackout of 2006, actually.

Shallow as it is, Maspeth Creek at an extreme low tide on Wednesday the 22nd of December.

Funny, these shots only represent a duration of a couple of weeks, yet the variation in water condition is remarkable. The odd white goo coating the bottom observed in the first few shots has been reported to me as existing at the Gowanus Canal as well.
I’m going to be taking a little break, as far as hard core posting goes, to accommodate the holidays. Expect a few more slideshows, and some short posts until after the seasons festivities have passed. The winter session at this, your Newtown Pentacle, will officially begin in the new year but for now the posts will be terse but regularly offered.
Today’s holiday, of course, is Festivus.
