We were driving along the Staten Island Expressway Saturday when the passing light pylons reminded me of a memory from childhood. My parents and I would drive from our place in New Jersey to my uncle's place on Long Island. As we drove along, I would look intently at everything. I remember thinking, "The light poles are smiling at me." They do look that way.

Just a memory. One of about a billion or more. But I thought I'd share.

I, too, thought those stylized light poles looked like strange, toothy grins. They didn't look malicious but just... weird. But almost comforting, eh?

An evil, Jokerish smile... eeek! :-)

They're totally Cheshire cat grins!

Growing up on Long Island as a little boy I thought the light pole were like that so Spider-Man could swing out from the city to his place with MJ on the Island.
