Ikea has actually been in Brooklyn for some time now, but today marked my first attempt to travel to its spun out location. As I had heard, Ikea provides free shuttles from several locations. After a quick Internet search, I headed to Borough Hall on teh subway and went upstairs to wait for the shuttle. It arrived ontime and the trip to Red Hook was pleasant and allowed me to see some parts of Brooklyn I hadn't yet visited. The port area provides an interesting contracts between the container ships and the Manhattan skyline. I wondered if anything at Ikea was actually delivered through that port directly to Ikea. I have my doubts about either. It's probably delivered to Oakland California and trucked across!

There wasn't much i wanted at Ikea, though I did pick up a few items and went back to the Shuttle. It was then I noticed some commotion. Other passengers conveyed someone had been accused of breaking a window on a shuttle van and the police were arriving. "It's something I have known for some time, and the police agree with me," and elderly woman said. "Anytime there's a full moon... it has something to do with water on the brain."

At home I Googled this. I found some evidence supporting the woman's statement. Search for yourself and you'll find more. It look's like there was a full moon May 9th.
