Jumping Hose

I was walking across St. Mark's Place — oh, about a week and a day ago — when I saw this hose jumping about on the sidewalk:

Jumping about.

You can't tell from the picture that the hose was jumping about, but believe you me, it was!

The hose was attached to this Clean Air Group truck:

Where was it leading, you ask? Good question!

It was leading into this cellar:

Cellar.

The question remains: were they delivering or picking up the goop?

Leaky Hose

I was walking down Avenue A this past Friday, during a rainstorm, when I came upon this hose that was being used to drain water away from the north side of East 10th Street into the sewer on the south side of East 10th Street:

Drain hose.

As you can see, the hose had a hole in it!

Here is a close-up:

You get a good sense of the futility of it all from this video:

Standpipe & Hose

This is just weird:

Hose inside stand pipe.

It's on Second Avenue.

What else can you really say about this?!
