The rate of obesity in NYC has risen 25%, despite the efforts of Mayor/Nanny Michael Bloomberg to change the consumption habits of his constituents. Since the restrictions have backfired, please bring trans-fats back. Make French fries tasty again.
The Giants will not make the playoffs unless 8-8 wins the NFC East. Right now it’s looking more like a 4-12 season, and even that may be a generous assessment.
In the Weird But True section in today’s NY Post there is an interesting story out of San Francisco. Television news teams have been the victim of theft of equipment at gunpoint. Stations have hired armed guards to protect the reporters and crews. Yesterday shots were exchanged. San Francisco is as liberal a town as there is. Will its press now support the rights of citizens to bear arms? Or will it be another case of “Do as I say, not as I do?”
Last night January/Victoria Valentine messaged me on Facebook, asking if I’d be interested in selling a book of erotica she is publishing for a friend. I declined. The management and staff of the building where I usually set up shop have been gracious enough to let me do business there. I do not want to encourage any complaints that would have management ask me to leave. I wonder if that suggestion led to the wild dream I had this morning. It was beyond erotic. It was pornographic, and had my unconscious mind doing a comic short story outline wherein a man visit’s a club like Plato’s Retreat for the first time and suffers a series of misadventures. The word interruptus would be in the title.
My thanks to the kind folks who did business with the floating book shop today, especially the Russian gentleman with the deep rasp, who donated 12 novels in his native tongue. He is always well-groomed and smartly dressed, the epitome of casual but neat. I suspect he is very successful at whatever he does. Spasibo.
