From LaGuardia to Montpelier, Vermont and back again

The airport lounge, LaGuardia, 6:30AM.

The commuter plane's interior - looking down the aisle from seat 7C.




The New York-Vermont border, ski slopes, and the Green Mountains.




The descent into Burlington Airport.

And on the ground - lunch, as prepared by the New England Culinary Institute at the Vermont College of Fine Arts, Montpelier.



My things piled on the desk in the tiny room provided at the college.


College Hall at the Vermont College of Fine Arts.



Montpelier, Vermont.


Back at the Burlington Airport for the trip home, and before I know it we're flying over New York and preparing to land once again at LaGuardia.

Some things to ponder

Above, the line at the employment office, Brooklyn, and below, the slowest Post Office in the universe, on Fulton Street, Brooklyn.


Odd thing oozing a foamy, sticky, shining substance (not soap) on West 33rd Street, Manhattan.


Above, machines from the Machine Age.

An art show, Chelsea.

And this is a newly painted Jamaican plant store, Washington Ave, Brooklyn.

This Crown Heights liquor store is considerate enough to place a speaker at the base of the Captain Morgan display and pump music into the street for the benefit of all. Rum, anyone?

Yum.

Um.

The stuffed animals on Park Place persist against the odds.
