@xris @capntransit it's making me nuts. inaturalist.org/observations/1. I put a bunch of mint in the panel garden at 104 and Riverside drive about 20 years ago. I can't ID that either. I've declared that apple mint because of rounded leaves. 3 years ago I transplanted some to at the base of Vernon Blvd in by . It's doing ok.

@capntransit @nyc_dot I was at a Kew Gardens garage a few times to pickup/dropoff these Nissan Leaf EVs that were purchased by this organization I work with. A/C outlets would have been sufficient to charge, but there were none and that seems very typical.

Assisted today by bringing a Nissan Leaf (2015 24wh battery) from to . Learned much about charging which will be applicable when I rent a car for a few days and they hand me an EV.

The rental agencies are bulking up on EVs. They are much easier to maintain.

If you only charge from home, this is all irrelevant. However, you may find yourself renting one day.

Its amazing how shitty and difficult the infrastructure is. But this is the fruit of capitalism.

Random car outside of with out of state (in state is ) plates has taken to speeding in school zones. Fuck all those who say there is no money available. Car owners have lots of money. This car doesn't owe anything but many do. Just check out those out of state plates.

explain why things grow so early and quickly at on . Didn't know that sometimes the walls had no other purpose than to reflect light and warm plants.

@stevenbodzin @rbellinger Living where I am I never looked at the exact location of these precincts, but for yucks checked the as I hear about it so often (in a negative light). Its ! Right near where I often go and pass all the stockpiled at the corner of Borden and Vernon Blvd. Its no wonder my complaints fall on deaf ears.

@dschwarz Most of apt buildings don't have parking lots unless one lives in a building or northern Manhattan. But yes if you have a parking lot, there should be chargers. I work with and they got 2 . They are great but the garage in where they live doesn't have an AC outlet and a garage in where I ran into didn't have one close enough.

@rbellinger I once rented a van in LIC for some thing. It had to carry a lot of kayaks. Now, though, Erik Baard who runs has invested in inflatable kayaks and two cars. I like LGA because its easy with the M60SBS from me and they are fine with walkins (though I always book way in advance).

@rbellinger Eeks no 7! What about the N or R. I go the other way and when the 7 is down, one of those two are offered with a shuttle bus. I live on the Upper West Side but often go to the southern end of Vernon Blvd for using the Vernon Blvd/Jackson Ave stop.

@memory Curious where you paddled. I'm suggesting a paddle using kayaks for with the or maybe and I realize there are really two parts. North of the dams and south unless you walk the canoes past those dams. What organization did the paddle?
