So I Saw TWO Muskrats Today! |
|
My daily bike ride to the duck pond/nature sanctury had a high point today...
While feeding bread to the ducks... along came the muskrat who climbed out of the water several times to get the larger pieces of bread I left on the rocks.
Then, after a while, ANOTHER muskrat came swimming along with a bunch of grass in its mouth... must be building a nest?
Some of the people at the nature sanctury think the muskrats are yucky but I like them! They have to be clean cause they live in the water.And they have nice eyes, too.

In an old ex-mine creek by my house. I felt bad for them for swimming in there, all the rocks are covered in sulphor deposits from many years past. But they are handsome creatures.

11. Eastern Long Island... The "Hamptons" |
|
where the rich and famous come on summer weekends to sit in traffic.
I ride past Sienfeld's house everyday... he's building a baseball diamond in his front yard.

15. No, But There Are Other "Big Names" |
|
who are pretty cool and you can see around.
Alec Baldwin for instance, he hangs out at the local diner.
Conneticut is closer to me geographically then NYC. :)
You should take the ferry over some time and visit me!
