Better than a snow cone

3rd and 72nd, NYC

Finally, a photo from the East Coast. Once again, Sarah Grant came through and photographed this stunning puddle during a very cold weekend in New York City. Manhattan and the boroughs seem to have much less grass than Los Angeles (aside from Central Park, of course, but dogs aren't allowed on that grass as far as I remember), so there is always a good amount of dog feces on the sidewalks. Dogs will go out of their way to pee on the rare living thing, such as this tree. As you can see, dozens, perhaps hundreds, of dogs peed on this tree over the course of several days. There are so many layers to this frozen block of piss that we could excavate it for archaeological evidence of what people were doing, oh, a week ago. We can see that many people back then rolled up some sort of plant in thin paper and lit it on fire. We can also see that they manufactured small sharp pieces of wood, perhaps for removing food from their teeth. There may also be some chewed on pieces of some sort of rubber-like product, some sort of "gum." I can't tell for sure though; I'd wanna really get in there to find out for sure.
