Eric Garner/Michael Brown Demo, Rockefeller Center, NYC

After having dinner with my family on E. 50th Street, I came across this tiny but vocal demonstration. The small group crossed from one corner to the next, walking in a square pattern at the intersection at 50th St. and 5th Avenue. Each time they reached a corner, they chanted loudly and then stepped off the curb, crossing the street to the next corner. Over and over again. There were more cops than demonstrators and more tourists than both combined.

Last Day of Fall, First Day of Winter, Brooklyn

Plenty of snow two days ago,
and the radiator in the flat upstairs is leaking through the ceiling. Bucket required.

Also required is a trip to Bellevue Hosptial, in Manhattan, to pick up my meds.
Bellevue is dressed for the season.

At the clinic pharmacy one may wait for quite a while. Take a number and take a seat.

Finally, at the window, the prescriptions are 'processed' and handed over.
It's evening by the time I leave Bellevue Hospital Pharmacy, meds in hand.
