All around New England, the season has changed and the colors have peaked even “[better than ever](http://tjnetworknews.wordpress.com/2009/09/25/fall-foliage-could-be-better-than-ever-this-year/?ref=bklyner.com)” (thanks to a wet summer). [Leaves turned](http://s4srvtour.wordpress.com/2009/10/20/fall-foliage-photos/?ref=bklyner.com) spectacular deep browns, bright reds, and sharp yellows.

Here, on this dead end street in Sheepshead Bay, my life feels like it’s at a dead end, and the only colors I see are the rusty browns of these garbage can covers and bricks, the bright red of this garage door, and the neon yellow of this old [Daffy’s](http://www.daffys.com/?ref=bklyner.com) shopping bag. And, oh yeah, the blues of the plastic garbage cans are more Mediterranean, not Northeastern United States fall foliage. Come to think of it, that’s a lot of color.

These people, here, on East 16 Street (near Avenue W) felt I was a flight risk, so they locked me up to this gate. I’m just wondering if they take me for a garbage can — not that there’s anything wrong with garbage cans. Just that I’m not one.
