God Hates Stoplights

Stoplight Down
A brief windstorm blew down this temporary stoplight installation on East Houston Street. The stoplight pole was not attached to the sidewalk just but to the large concrete block resting on the sidewalk. I wondered about this arrangement when I first saw it installed, but I figured they must know what they are doing. It is fortunate that the pole didn’t fall on anyone. Though it did clip a branch off that tree.

Rainbow
A glorious double rainbow followed.

    Missed both of those, but the rainbow made up for it.
