Day 18.255: Return of the Chonk

Exile #2 spotted and photographed the Chonk today (of course it could be a new woodchuck, but we like to think it is indeed our old acquaintance).

Of course the sighting in yesterday's post could be relevant to this creature's long-term peaceful existence as well as that of the turkeys.

Day 17.195: These statues got me (High Line)

There is quite a bit of art on (or visible from) the High Line in Manhattan. Here are some of the works that caught our eye:

Anyone remember these? This is pop pun 123 for title watchers (although you’ll have to go to the predecessor blog for the first 122)…and now it’s your turn, the stone it calls to you.
