95 Heat Index

Today's walk was nothing new except that we chose to walk 3.33 miles home from downtown Brooklyn in the 100 degree weather. This first picture is what we felt like when we were walking thru with the extreme heat. I think anyone outside today would probably agree. When crossing over the gowanus canal we came across about a half dozen jellyfish. It was a little surreal, seemed like someone brought a bucket from the beach with them and dumped in the canal. I almost felt like I was looking at real water til I saw all the ooze and trash in the water. I thought the sign in "The Enemy is Everywhere" was very fitting for the moment...

Gowanus Goes Green Festival

We visited the Gowanus Goes Green Festival today. It was a great time with good music and food. We got to see what the Gowanus Canal Conservancy was planning with the sponge park and meet vendors promoting "green" products. There is so much potential for the canal and hopefully one day in the near future it will be able to become similar to the Venice Canal. Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz was there to show his support and hopefully others will continue to back it.
