Clothes

I keep thinking it's Sunday, but it's obviously not. Since I worked on Saturday and yesterday, today feels odd.

I stopped by the Lacoste store on Madison and 56th St on my way back from running some errands. Browsed around for a while and ended up buying some spring clothes: 2 Retro Fitted polos, 2 long sleeve polos and 1 sweater. All quite nice and colorful Smile

This brand was popular growing up. Then it disappeared. But it's back. People in the US tend to confuse it with Izod. Izod is a premium clothing company that offers very similar products to Lacoste. In fact, Izod had a contract with Lacoste until the mid-1990s that gave it the rights to produce the Lacoste clothing line in the United States. Hence the confusion. The line of clothing was known as "Izod Lacoste."

NY snow pics

So, here are a handful of pics from last weekend's snow storm:

This particular one is taken from my office, in the evening, with the camara in manual mode, ISO 50, turning off the flash, auto-shot mode, on an improvised platform looking out the window into the Meat Packing district.

Daytona 500

BTW, I forgot to mention Jimmie Johnson won, and without his crew chief.

Johnson said he needed to make a statement after receiving harsh criticism for purportedly being the cause of wrecks in superspeedway races last year. On top of that, he wanted to show support for Chad Knaus, his crew chief who got ejected from Daytona after NASCAR officials discovered a raised rear window on the No. 48 Chevrolet, charging Knaus with trying to gain an aerodynamic advantage.
