July 25, 2022Leaning Tree on 89th Street & 3rd Ave. Removed
The leaning tree on 89th Street off 3rd Avenue has been removed. Angela shared the photo above today.
It didn’t look so bad from 3rd Avenue.
From 89th Street, you can see the tree hadn’t been trimmed in a long time.
Hopefully, they will replace it with another tree – a smaller type.
NYC hasn’t been replacing trees in many areas around our neighborhood.

July 23, 2022Psychic, John Edwards in Staten Island 9/21
A few years ago, Lee and I saw John Edwards in Long Island. He came over to Lee (anytime there is audience participation, Lee is always picked).
John Edwards gave a description of spirit that was talking to him, but it didn’t have anything to do with Lee. Someone several rows back raised their hand and said it sounded like it was for them.
The edited shows on television are better than the live show.
