As I approached the lobby door this morning at about 6:30, I looked through the window and spotted a hooded male kneeling at the door of the outer trash room. I figured he was trying to break in and was thinking how disappointed he would be. He took off as soon as he heard the door open. His intent wasn’t theft but mayhem. He’d set fire to a large, crushed cardboard box that was inside another. There was a plastic bag full of garbage beside them. I separated the two and stomped out the flames. It’s unlikely that any significant damage would have been done, but who knows? What motivated the guy? Drunkenness? Revenge for a slight? Mental disorder? Weird. I wouldn’t recognize him if he passed right in front of me. It was a fleeting glimpse. I don't even recall the color of his hoodie. It reminds me how often TV detectives complain about the unreliability of eye witnesses.
My thanks to the kind folks who bought books today on Bay Parkway, especially B.S. Bob, who stopped for one of his lengthy visits. Convinced that the untold story of Benghazi is the theft of Khadafy's gold by the Clintons, he believes Hillary orchestrated the death of JFK Jr., who, had he run for NY's senate seat, would have ended her career. I despise Billary, but I don't believe either accusation is true. People are funny, as Art Linkletter used to say.
