tennessee phenomenon

Happening right now, and for the next few days the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee will light up as P. Carolinus fireflies begin to blink in beautiful, astonishing unison. The fireflies, who can sense when their neighbor fireflies are flashing and attempt to flash before them, send waves of light to cascading down the Tennessee hillsides. One of the best spots to see them is in one small area, near the Little River Trailhead in Elkmont, TN.

In 1995, scientists confirmed the existence of the Great Smoky Mountain synchronized fireflies, and have subsequently discovered other populations in the Congaree Swamp in South Carolina and other high altitude locations in the Appalachian mountains. As this curious phenomenon remained undiscovered for years, it is quite possible that there are other varieties of fireflies blinking in unison throughout the United States, perhaps even in your own backyard.

things are changing at the corner of broadway and houston in soho, but CK has had space at this corner forever, and it is always super sexy. above is the new ad, showing a sexy girl on a couch with three sexy boys. they are all in various states of undress. some people are worried that the tourists will be scared. some people think thats stupid, and Calvin Klein reps are just loving the attention.

RIP oil

this gem was on the wall of slim goodies, an egg place on magazine street in nola that was superb. it was surrounded by other, less final images of oil. i wonder what happened to him. there was a picture of obama with the owner a few feet down.
