Quick question, by the way:

Is it wrong if while walking through battery park city and watching the girls dash up and down every set of stairs they encounter, jump from one bench to another, and clamber over all the rocks, as is their wont, I sing the Rocky theme song, as is my wont? They seem to think it attracts attention and is embarrassing, but I think the fact that they take death defying leaps off of six foot high benches* is what attracts the attention.

* Yes, you read that correctly.

Grandfather's age when kids born may be linked to autism in grandkids

Not much to say here.

On the subject of "things which are embarrassing"

And also "things that have to do with the garden", I need to make my raised-ish beds, as stated. And I need to get some composted manure for the garden. And I need to save money on this.

How likely is it that pet stores already give their rabbit poop away to people like me, and how strange would it be to call and ask? How about a rabbit rescue organization? The zoo is likely sewn up with their goats and all, but.... You know I hate calling, so I don't want to bother if they likely are already giving manure all away to others who called sooner.
