All of the European Starlings found today in North America--and they number in the 200 million range--are descendants of approximately 100 birds introduced in New York City's Central Park in the early 1890s. A society dedicated to introducing into America all of the birds mentioned in the works of Shakespeare set these birds free.

It's startling to me that someone with such a bold flourish to his underlining could pluralize "boxes" that way. It's also maddening. It's maddening in its startlingness.
Oh, yes, NYC. I love the emphasis on "it" in the first shot. My favorite piece of graffiti is from the side of a building I saw last August, on a Brooklyn-bound Q going over the Manhattan Bridge: "What makes you think you can live without me?" If it's still there, I hope to get its picture soon.
That picture of Tyrone's cut off head makes me feel weird inside.
But wait. It's not Tyrone's head. Now I feel even weirder at 10:53 than I did at 10:50. Okay, I'm done now.
Ty was number 18.
