Wumbo Wednesday: This is Scenery?

So Monday/Tuesday was Manhattanhenge. For those of you new or unaware to New York customs, Manhattanhenge is the four days a year (two in late spring, two in early-ish summer), where the sunset aligns with the grid of Manhattan. It looks something… a-like a-this.

One of the things I’ve always wanted to do was see it live. 1) Because I like my city and 2) Because I am a huge nerd and this is a yearly meteorological event. And of course, because I attempt to do these, I dragged Senorita Weaselo with me. We made a date of it and everything, going to Natural History in the afternoon (to play with the giant whale and dinosaurs), ramen, gelato, a lot of walking, an overall very lovely day as we planned out our vantage point.

Now, if you clicked the above link it gives main thoroughfares as the best option. So my brilliant self… decided to forgo that and go uptown by Lincoln Center (so 65th Street). So, trying to go around traffic, here’s what we got.

Yeah, it’s a nice sunset, but it’s not the picture we wanted. I overthought it, I guess I thought you’d get a better shot as a result of fewer people, but it didn’t work. Well, unfortunately I’ll have to wait until July 12th to try and redeem myself and get the good stuff.

Anyway, here’s the news:

NUK WATCH: DeShaun Watson angling for DeAndre Hopkins to come to Cleveland. But in general, it’s just seeing where the former All Pro WR will head.

Admittedly, there’s not much news. Or sports. (NBA Finals start tomorrow, Stanley Cup Final starts Saturday.)

Any national baseball even?
Cheesesteak Phight vs. Snake Snack (PHI vs. NYM, 7:05, MLBN)
Beer vs. Birds (MIL vs. TOR, 7:07, MLBN)

Yes, I call Shake Shack Snake Snack when I’m bored. Including the OG at Madison Square Park where I had a shake that was hilariously decadent. Never again… because I don’t know if my body would be able to take it. But it was pretty damn good.
