So close, yet so far from its final resting place.

It rained (again) today, wrapping up what feels like a week of crummy weather. This is June, not April, right? I spotted this wounded soldier on the corner of 7th and what I assume is still 3rd Ave. Near McSorely's, the new Cooper Union building, and the space craft, this defeated guy almost made it to the trash. I plan to submit the pic to Better Off Soaked, a blog devoted to broken umbrellas everywhere. If you see any in your town be sure to snap a quick shot and send it over to author Katie; it's an entertaining read to keep in your daily line up of blogs. A soaked shot from the younger bro's graduation made the cut last month (search the site for Boston College).

Cheers - happy weekend everyone.
