Look! A Horse on the Curb of Wooster Street

We saw this giant stuffed horse this morning walking to work and took the picture. It was sort of festive and sort of sad. We wondered what sort of an apartment this horse could possibly have lived in. We wonder if it had anything to do with inauguration night? Anyone care to discuss?

Poor horse. Maybe someone will adopt him.

Reminds me of a photograph I took in Brussels last month :

It would look more adoptable and less sad if it were standing up.

It looks like it TOOK a beating. Maybe it is (supposed to be) a donkey.

What a shame, looks like he can be thrown in the washing machine. Don't you all have a Goodwill or the Salvation Army up there. Seems like people would be donating these items instead of overloading the landfills. People in America are so spoiled. No wonder our country is so screwed up right now. They do the same thing with food. Waste, waste ,waste. Sigh.

We found a whale down the street from our house. Seems like it was made by an art student - that would be my guess for the horse too.
Here's a picture (on flickr) of our whale, happy as a clam in a tree in our back yard...
