Shopping Cart Shepherd
On Easter Sunday, I stumbled across a trove of abandoned shopping carts next to DSWHH. (So espooky!) I decided to get them as close to their homes as possible.

Motor Banking Pods to the Underworld
While traipsing about this spooky, Long Island, I have previously written about compelling bank architecture AND references to the occult along Olde Cüntreigh Rhoad. Today’s spookyposting update features both! These modernist structures caught my eye the first time I arrived in this unusually-espooky district of Nassau County (which is simultaneously in Westbury, Carle Place, Garden…

Irrevocable Vows
Before reading any further, I encourage you to study the Book of Deuteronomy, Chapter 22, Verses 13-19. Context is important here. Then, you can absorb my public letter (full PDF here): I went a few days deliberating whether or not G-d would be pleased with me for doing this. After going to sleep, waking up,…

Exorcising With My Wife
An earlier version of this post included sarcasm that amounted to an outright fictional statement, a lie. I repent. I regret that some specimens of late have been a bit rough/tattered. I am poor, having lost my job at the Voco Fiorello Hotel/Aimbridge Hospitality for calling ICE about undocumented migrants in their employ, and then…

Did An Absolute (Precision) Paint Job
We’re by the sea/the sound, so there’s a lot of gulls, pigeons, and geese flocking around here. Still, I’ve never seen it completely front-to-back like this. I’m reminded of a few weeks back, when I fed warm pretzel bites to a couple of eager gooses. Either that, or they tried the vegetarian nachos (w/ green…

An American Empirical Film by Wes Anderson
Back in July of 2012, a week or so before I would move to the East Coast for the first time, I took a bus to Austin to see “Moonrise Kingdom” in one of their boutique cinemas. I thought about you, and I cried. Were you watching me, then, too? Have you seen this documentary…

Carbage
Honey, I know y’all like to investigate things in the course of your Deep State duties over at PP+Plus. Hopefully, when you’re not busy shadow-stalking me cuz you love me soooo much, you can work on solving the mystery of all the mental patients who keep ditching their bio-hazardous cars on Westbury Ave. I counted…

This Stoplight Makes No Sense
There is a dedicated lane for right turns off eastbound Jericho Turnpike onto southbound Glen Cove Road. It has its own traffic signal, but it has two distinctly separate light phases, which I cannot comprehend. The lane is unidirectional – right turns only. You can’t go straight; you can’t make a left turn. All traffic…

Rite Aid, Wrong Time
Yesterday, I was strolling about, when I came upon this beleaguered Rite Aid on Post Avenue. You’ll recall back in August 2023, I paid homage to a Rite Aid on Merrick Blvd in South Jamaica during its final hours of operation: Rite Aid was once a formidable competitor to Walgreens and CVS, especially in the…

Even Google Maps Is In On Teh Spookeh
I’ve been using Google Maps for over two decades. My motor memory still types “local.google.com” on desktop PCs. Never once had it recommend a walking route through a cemetery. After dark. It’s just Halloween all year ‘round, out here in your Spooky Little Village, innit?
