Selling My Books on the Streets of Brooklyn 11/26 - Gas

I found the following headline at Google News:  "Cow flatulence, gas emissions much worse than thought - new study." Make up your own joke. Methane is more potent than CO2s, which environmentalists believe cause global warming. Now that they've found this out, what exactly do they propose to do about it -- kill all cows? Am I next? I've had more gas the past few years than in all the years prior. Make up your own headline.

I turned on the radio to hopefully hear some interesting conversation during dinner, and who is Rita Cosby's guest host talking about - Alec Baldwin! Help!

This morning Mark Simone asked listeners whom they'd like to share a meal with. One guy picked baseball lifer Don Zimmer, another Halle Berry -- I applaud his common sense. I've always been fascinated by Elle McPherson, who seems to have never had an unhappy moment in her life, which is, of course, absurd, as she's been divorced. I've always been reluctant to speak to any celebrity I've encountered in passing for fear of catching the person at his/her worst and it creating a lasting impression. I crossed paths with Sid Caesar at LAX in the mid 70's. I wanted to tell him how much my father and I enjoyed his madcap Your Show of Shows, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Having later read of his problem with alcohol, I'm glad I didn't. And I've always been fascinated that female porn stars are able to do what they do, but self analysis is probably something that doesn't interest any of them. Martin Scorsese might be fun, as it seems it wouldn't take much to get him to wax passionately about movies. I would have loved to spend time with the late Freddie Blassie and Lou Albano, and hear stories about pro wrestling. I sense that Jack Nicklaus is as genuine as his image. Aside from politicians, the only celebrity I would want no part of is AROD. 

It was a brief session for the floating book shop today, as snow flurries interrupted business. My thanks to the two ladies who purchased books in Russian. I finally broke down and hit the ATM for the first time since 9/7. With no income the next two days, I'd have been cutting it too close.
