April 16 PM Walk
A break in the weather allowed unobstructed walking for the Che and I. But an informal condo meeting in the hallway of our building after several weather related issues made themselves known, the viewing of a 72-hour-old new-neighbor baby, and a John Lindlay concert at the world famous Blue Note, preempted our walk. But with that said, we were able to check out the mighty Gowanus Canal post soaking. The mighty G was about 1.5 feet from overflowing it's banks around Carroll Street. Boats that are docked in the water were precariously balanced between just making it, and maybe being land bound. We looked for evidence of any of the "legendary raw sewage" (AKA poo canoes) that is supposed enter the canal after a complete soaking, but were disappointed. We really just trekked to poo and rolled back home. A bit less than a 2 miler today, but certain to be made up once the weather clears.
