Selling My Books on the Streets of Brooklyn 10/6 - Tidbits

If only all branches of government worked as well as our special forces. Kudos on the capture of the Qaeda biggie in Libya.

Sign of the times: according to an article in today's NY Post, IBM now employs more people in India, where the average salary is only $17,000, than in the U.S..

Wow - the Giants are 0-5. I know it's ridiculous to think this way, but maybe karma has finally turned after having favored them so outrageously during their last two Super Bowl runs. On the bright side, I did very well at crowdpicks.com on my NFL one o'clock game picks, after a bang up Saturday in college football that has propelled me into fourth place.

It's now been six weeks since I've adopted my Sunday strategy for the floating book shop, selling only my own and January Valentine's books. It has worked four times. Today I sold Mrs. Valentine's Wheel Wolf to a woman in what I believe was Muslim garb (not peekaboo), who had bought from me previously. She is a gregarious sort, saying how much she loves reading. My thanks. On an odd note, I saw something I'd never seen before. A middle aged gentleman carried his umbrella at the nape of his neck, hooking the handle inside the collar of his short sleeve dress shirt. As Art Linkletter used to say: "People are funny."
