October 8, 2012 Weather: Mostly Cloudy, High of 55 Degrees.

Notices:
Upper West Side events today include a new play with Aasif Mandvi, a chance to unwind at the Great Organ, and more.

News:
The Riverside Clay Tennis Association plans to install public toilets around the courts at 96th Street whose waste will be composted and then pumped out to fertilize a nearby wildflower garden that’s now a parking lot. The association is trying to raise $6 million. (DNAinfo)

“Coyotes in cities may just be the start of a parade of larger carnivores…A professor of wildlife ecology at Ohio State University says urban coyotes, the largest of the mid-size carnivores, may be setting the stage for their larger brethren to start migrating to cities.” What, the rats and raccoons aren’t enough? (National Post)

City Council candidate Ken Biberaj was included in City & State’s 40 under 40 issue. (City & State)

Despite the presence of some very well-heeled Republican donors on the Upper West Side, the old split remains: the Upper East Side like the GOP, the Upper West Side likes the Dems. “Obama raised more than $3.5 million from three ZIP codes on the Upper West Side — 10024 ($1.391 million), 10023 ($1.205 million) and 10025 ($1,072 million)…For his part, Romney’s top donors were from ZIP codes all on the East Side, and mostly on the Upper East Side. He raked in about $4 million from Upper East Side ZIP codes 10021 ($1.25 million), 10065 ($940,261), 10128 ($917,457) and 10028 ($879,777).” (NY Post)

Re: “…A professor of wildlife ecology … says urban coyotes, … may be setting the stage for their larger brethren to start migrating to cities.”

To paraphrase Dorothy: “Lions, and tigers, and bears! ON BROADWAY!! Oh, my!”

Well, I think I’ve already seen elephants and hippos! Oh, wait! Those were neither elephants nor hippos. Those were TOURISTS … from the 13 mid-western and southern states where adult obesity is reaching 60% of the population!!

Thankfully, they’ve all returned home to their deep-fried Oreos, deep-fried butter, and deep-fried Thanksgiving turducken.

“Despite the presence of some very well-heeled Republican donors on the Upper West Side…”

I made a map of these zip codes:

One day I may be able to afford to move from green to blue if the formerly bipartisan outright light bulb ban will no longer destroy my retro lighting business, my only source of income.
