Brooklyn Raptor Observatory On The Road (for a few blocks, anyway)

<p>&ldquo;We spend our life,&rdquo; wrote Samuel Beckett, &ldquo;trying to bring together in the same instant a ray of sunshine and a free bench.&rdquo; Throw in some margaritas and an exotic raptor, Sam, and you&rsquo;re onto something. On Sunday, we hit the jackpot.</p> <p>The sun came out just as we sat down at one of the picnic tables at the taco truck bar around 1:15. The day had begun chilly and damn damp, near freezing. By 2 the sky was bright, blue, and warmer, much warmer. No one else was sitting outside when we arrived. We set a good example: three more tables were soon occupied. Reversing the usual ratio, there isn&rsquo;t a lot of indoor space there; and besides, a children&rsquo;s party to the accompaniment of weekend sportstertainment on multiple TVs made the old auto shop interior unappealing.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@matthewwills_84861/brooklyn-raptor-observatory-on-the-road-for-a-few-blocks-anyway-8ef43717eb68"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
