An article in today's NY Post reveals that 3000+ retired educators are drawing pensions of more than $100,000. 46 draw more than $200,000, nine $300,000, five $400,000, and one $500,000. Is this fair to tax-payers? Shouldn't there be a cap? Would these people be unable to live on $100,000, which seems very generous? Leave it to politicians to be cavalier with other people's money. It's a disgrace.
From Yahoo Sports, edited by yours truly: In a sad reflection of the times, Philadelphia authorities are preparing for possible rioting after the Eagles-Vikings game. To prevent the climbing of lampposts, they have been smeared with Crisco. Businesses have been advised to lower their gates and bring trash cans and flower pots inside. Bars have been asked to sell alcohol in plastic cups rather than bottles.
I've been running the floating book shop long enough to know that immediately finding the most favorable parking isn't an omen for good business. Such was the case on this beautiful day in Park Slope. My thanks to the middle age gentleman who parked his bike beside the display and purchased a primer on Buddhism, the only sale of the session. The effort was worth, however, as I crossed paths with one of my all-time favorite human beings. Enrique, fresh from mass up the street, also pulled up on a bike. We caught up on each other's activities, lamented the recent passing of a former co-worker, and took pictures. These days he's driving for Access-a-Ride. I bet his picture came out better than mine. I'll check when I get to Facebook.
