NYC 5 Boro Bike Tour
Though the tour always passes here with stop-overs in the park, this year will be different. It must have to do with the amount of money the city has to spend on surveillance and police over-time. Officers will also be out in full force on bicycles and scooters throughout the route of the race, though I don't see a terrorist threat. The 32,000 cyclists will only be allowed to carry fanny packs and water bottles - with backpacks banned in the wake of the deadly Boston Marathon bombings.
Nothing deters Ellie's clients ... braving it all, two women from Staten Island will head over the upper level of the bridge this morning at 9:30 to get here. They said they checked out the routes and it looks clear.
Current client theme: Assertiveness - one's ability to step up and speak their mind when something is wrong in a relationship. Of course, it goes to fear of - rejection, being alone, failure, self esteem, and you know the rest. I'm not going to tell you what to do and give you a handful of affirmations to change anything as you go as programmed, but it is wonderful to feel free.
This morning at 6:00 I met a Mexican women in the laundry room who is planning a big family celebration. The Mexican population in my area is rapidly increasing whereas in the past the hispanic population mostly consisted of people from Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. New York City has such a diverse culture, you name a country, and you find people who came here in recent years. A large majority are a cross-cultural, ethnic, and religious blend of people who are moving past the boundaries of past generations and creating new ... everything ... which also changes from year to year. The new and the old in any culture or family are often programmed to clash and crash.
In one nanosecond - with just one matrix event - it will all change forever no matter what role(s) you are playing in this timeline.
Favorites to win: Verrazano, Golden Soul, and Orb.
I got 2 out of 3 winners. :)
A Supercell Thunderstorm Cloud Over Montana
NASA - May 5, 2013Is that a spaceship or a cloud? Although it may seem like an alien mothership, it's actually a impressive thunderstorm cloud called a supercell. Such colossal storm systems center on mesocyclones -- rotating updrafts that can span several kilometers and deliver torrential rain and high winds including tornadoes. Jagged sculptured clouds adorn the supercell's edge, while wind swept dust and rain dominate the center. A tree waits patiently in the foreground. The above supercell cloud was photographed in July west of Glasgow, Montana, USA, caused minor damage, and lasted several hours before moving on.
