Originally the diary of 4 months spent in Antarctica working as a documentary film sound recordist, this blog has evolved into an online repository for the thoughts, travels and trivia of the writer Richard Fleming. For McMurdo Station, Antarctica, and polar exploration, see August through December of '06. Currently you are likely to find in these pages chronicles of my actual and literary meanderings, as well as notes on my many other passions. Also, did I mention I wrote a book?

Finally, the New York Times explains. Broad Channel, apparently, is New York City's answer to the mighty Ganges.

love the pic of the ghee can! glad that this mystery has been solved. I do find it a bit rich that people are so upset about Hindus dumping coconuts and milk in the bay. I am sure there are far more toxic substances being pumped in there each day.
