CompStat reports are produced by the New York Police Department on a weekly basis. We summarize the week’s statistics for the 61st Precinct reports every Friday. The 61st Precinct is the police command responsible for Sheepshead Bay, Gravesend, Kings Highway, Homecrest, Madison, Manhattan Beach, and Gerritsen Beach.
This image makes me feel so conflicted. On the one hand, “Yay, Nikon!” On the other hand, “Booo, smoking!” I like to tell myself that he is using the cigarette merely as a prop to lend a smoky effect to whatever he is shooting.

A pretty mama dove has taken up residence inside the potted plant hanging from the awning of the house where I live. She seems very content as she incubates her soon-to-be hatchlings. We’re happy to have her stay with us for a while.
