On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city.

This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

A person in gloves and winter clothing standing in a snowy scene. They are hard to see as they are holding a sign made out of cardboard up to the camera. The sign has three multi choice options hand written on it in thick black pen. They are, heroine, cocaine or poutine. The check box next to poutine is ticked and heroin and cocaines are scored out.

Bohemian Rhapsody Flashmob consisting of 30 musicians and singers on a street in Paris.

I reckon Freddie Mercury would have loved this.

[Sorry ... had to choose the lowest quality and cut into two for BlueSky. Hopefully the audio survived.]

I have discovered that I have a perfectly acceptable monthly expense that is just, ‘good tacos’. My chequeing account is going to have to live with this.

Now, I wore Shures for years, way back before they moved their manufacturing around. This pair have sat in my jacket pocket for at least 13 years? They have some definite aging signs on at the cable, but so do I. I plugged them in and they still sound great!

Lesson = quality is always the GOAT.

I tried on my old biking jackets (both Italian, both from the same store in the Merchant City in Glasgow,) and I think I will still wear one of them! (the other is a now a fashion faux pas..)

I stuck my hands in the pocket though, and pulled out a pair of Shure 215 in-ear monitors.

In these boxes I found my last two leather motorbike jackets. (Which is why I was unpacking them, I just bought a new jacket, and it led me to the ... where are my biker jackets? thoughts). Weirdly we are about to go all audio, and even less interesting!

Daily bunny no.3034 is going bar-hopping

Three bunnies are on the street heading to a local bar. They are leaving a stereotypical Irish Pub, and going to a more ‘underground’ place next door. One bunny, who has had too much to drink, is leaning on his teetotaler friend, who has a bottle of water and is acting as an informal “chaperone” for the group

Daily bunny no.3029's future is all used up

A bunny is seeing an old-fashioned 'fortune-teller' bunny, in a tent in front of a crystal ball. There are bejeweled knick-knacks in the tent. To the customer's shock, the fortune teller throws out their hands , as if bearing some ominous news.
