All in all, pretty tame. A small few branches down, but that was about it. So much for my plan of slicing a roast on my roof in a flapping yellow poncho.

If you haven't heard, there's a hurricane tropical storm on it's way. So I'm technically in Zone B. But across the street is Zone A! But across the street is also Zone C. My part of Gowanus is clearly the nexus of the universe.

This just in from my good friends at GowanusYourFaceOff - there's a new comic called Power Play, which is described as sort of like the X-Games but with superpowers. One of the characters is Gowanus Pete. He fell into the canal and now has tentacles. That's pretty badass. I've gone canoeing in the canal, but unfortch don't have any new appendages. Sigh.
