Abandoned Baby Head in Red Hook


Found this baby head by a pier in Red Hook. Its eyes were milky blue (rheumy?) and the plastic skull was filled with water-which I discovered after I kicked it. According to a recent NY Times article, the average New Yorker throws out several more pounds of garbage per day than the rest of the country. That's because the average New Yorker obviously can't tell the difference between treasure and trash. The baby head ended up stuck on the front of a bike, eyes facing up toward the handle bars, as a practical joke. I don't know how funny it will be to the bike owner, but it seemed like the right thing to do.
