There was a bit of fireworks at the floating book shop today. A guy parked at the end of the bus stop, in line with the box from which local postal deliverers pick up their haul. When the postal truck arrived, the driver gently tapped his horn twice, and the idiot ignored him. The driver, an unhappy camper who tosses mail bags as if he has contempt for them, then parked at an angle in front of the car, blocking its way. This led to angry words, the postman daring the guy to take a shot at him. A woman and a man railed at the idiot for having parked at the bus stop. Then Political Man returned from his trip to the newsstand. Minutes earlier he had approached, triumphant that the Supreme Court had upheld the challenge to Obamacare, 6-3, and then went on his usual Republicans are fascists rant, and also tossed in his contempt for Russian immigrants. He lit into the idiot viciously, using typical anti-immigrant language. Fortunately, nothing more than words were exchanged. I guess PM believes tolerance is a one-way street and, since liberals are on the side of the angels, everyone who disagrees with his views is evil and must give way.
Russian immigrants have been kind to me, and this was the case again today. A gentleman donated five volumes of Agatha Christie translations, and all five sold. The session would have been very disappointing if not for his generosity. Spasibo, sir. Thanks also to the young man who purchased Houdini's Box, The Art of Escape by Adam Phillips.
