Strait of Magellan

Did you know there is a penguin that brays like a donkey?  They breed around the Strait of Magellan, and are common in that part of the world.

Which is where I'm headed, with Cristian and Rachael, to photograph their Strait of Magellan attempt.  I will try to do daily updates, so check back for progress reports....

I found the Astroland Rocket

It was around back, sadly awaiting what fate?  

More Coney Brrr

Sad times for Coney Island--here come the bulldozers

I don't know if it'll do any good, but I signed this petition......

I also like these ideas to protest in a grass roots fashion....one of which is to call 311 and complain about tearing down Coney!

Does anyone know whatever happened to the astroland rocket?

Magellan-mania

For those of you who don't know, some of the more die-hard have been quietly training year-round for one of the ultimate swim challenges--the Straits of Magellan.  At last, the dates have been set, and it's this month!  On January 20th, Rachel and Cristian (as well as Scott Lautman and his bro) will be attempting a swim that has been only accomplished by five people.   It's a big F'n deal.  So I want everyone to be sending them warm strong positive energy during that week!  Rachael's been keeping a blog, so check it, yo.
