I've literally got hundreds more where these came from, I'm just trying to get a few up in between exploring and eating/sleep.

Stayed at a place with a 4 story waterslide last night so I was distracted to say the least, but I promise I'll put more pics up tonight.

These pics make me long for the west again, and I've already dragged my ass out there twice within the last six months, which obviously wasn't enough. I guess I'll just have to be patient.

Fuck, these pics make me wanna' pack my shit up and get the fuck out of Toronto.

That's pretty weird because we surveyed the water viaducts in da Bronx. I was also just reading about some famous Geologist rock master who died yesterday at 94. I wanted to post it for you but got distracted....He donated a lot of stuff to colleges/universities and museums.

The elevations in the Bronx are pretty high compared to other boroughs. The fault or St. Nicholas Thrust I guess this why there is such a big difference in elevation from St. Nicholas Avenue going to the East side of Manhattan. I also know that lower Manhattan is far lower in elevation than upper Manhattan. There is extreme bedrock in places just 9' below ground level. In the Bronx, building companies were actually removing outcroppings to build houses, which usually didn't happen. I guess the need to make money made that a mute point. Really how many disgusting lots have actually been cleaned by way of the housing boom?

I'm sure some good artifacts were ruined unfortunately....I did get to see a knife fight on Friday in the Bronx. I don't think they were really looking to cut each other but they were swinging. I finally just yelled "Hey if you want to die, I'll just shoot you both and get it over with". Some girl then yelled at them and I guess I still have the cop look so they broke it up (besides us being 2 white guys in a car)....Who knows if they started again after we left?
