Virtual Speed Bump

Here is something I've never seen before: A virtual speedbump

Note that there were no crossroads anywhere near these two stop signs pointing in opposite directions, on a Long Island residential neighborhood....  This was more effective on me than a real speedbump.

The Roaring 20s....

After two decades that I could barely name (the zeros and tens?  the "aughts"?  No one understands when I try to refer to the last two decades), we finally are back in the "roaring 20s"....

I had to celebrate with a "roaring 20s" party.





It turns out finger foods and gelatin were big back in the 20s, both were featured heavily in the menu.




Here are some homeade agar orange slices:



We featured a bunch of 20s inspired tunes, including "Postmodern Jukebox", who perform modern songs in an older style:

Christmas Wonderland: Dyker Heights

If you live near New York, definitely make a trip during the holiday season to see the lights in Dyker Heights (South Brooklyn)....  









I grew up in Connecticut, and I don't think anyone there even knows what Dyker Heights is....  The holiday decorations are all put up by individual home owners, and viewing is free to see.
