After bank & pharmacy, I came across the free #TagSale folks in front of the 10th Ave clinic like before (I won’t use Meta so don’t see their invites on Facebook anymore).
They were breaking down & let me help. Two trips with the cart to donate around the corner.
Second trip was not too bad although much heavier, bc they were watching my coat scarf & purse.
They took my email so I can get word. Next one is *Sat morning May 2*, ends at noon I think. At the #clinic on 10th/ 46th. 2/?

Beautiful day. Got chow at the Amish, sat outside at the perfect table, got the Batman shadow signal on my bat-table.
Decided to get dessert next.
Sooo many choices - depends on how picked over Amy’s Bread is…
Decided on gelato.

Gelatoville does carry fruit base gelato, I was patient. For years I’d ask, & eventually got an employee who taught me what to ask for: fruit flavors w no almond milk (almost everything has that in it). These are virtually fat free.
They also have a child size (one flavor only, though), which they don’t advertise, only $6-something with tax. They had mango (slimy), raspberry (ick), pineapple (tasted weak), & strawberry, the winner.

Next, I came across a #Mamdani #pothole patrol! In the first picture, a man fills a pothole w asphalt from the truck while another sets up orange barrels. Then I missed him using a broom w super long bristles to sweep the asphalt over the hole & begin tamping it down. Next, he gets the watering can filled w liquid tar, while a third guy tamps down the #asphalt. As he pours tar around the outside edge, the truck starts moving! Poof they disappear, dragging barrels behind.
Quite the spectacle.

This weekend I came across:
>Young bearded man in black t-shirt letting his girlfriend wear his jacket. She held it on as a capelet, its sleeves dangling.
>Man walking his white haired dog. It wore a black jacket-leash-sign with white letters on both sides: DEAF DOG.
>Stones as checkers, Free Luigi sign.

A neighbor on my block has swapped out these flowers recently and they’re super happy here.

Windy with spots of sun #today.
The French restaurant, corner of 44th in midtown always buys these flowering trees, so I know summer’s soon -
