- Waiting for a bus home, watched oncoming traffic on Broadway. A grey faceless Tesla passed by, the only spot of color – pales scarf in green black and red streaming from the front window. Limousine Liberals morphed into Tesla Antisemites.
- Unsightly restaurant sidewalk shacks from a year ago all but dismantled on 3rd Ave. except two: a “middle-eastern gyros” joint and a Mexican place, supposedly higher-than-usual-grade. They were the first among neighboring restaurants to display the shameful poster “show proof of vaccination to enter”. It came dawn only a few months ago. When I walk by, the place is always empty.
- After 4-months [of worrying] silence – a new post by DiploMad on coming elections. Hallelujah! otherwise my blogroll looks more and more like a desert
- Last Sunday’s noise behind my windows, which I suspected was yet another hamas-loving demo, turned out to be the St. Paddy’s parade – a whole week after the fact.
- This year taxes (owed, per TurboT) are the highest in the last 4 yrs. Not the Fed’s but the state; just the dubious privilege of living within 5 boroughs cost me ~3,800, plus to the NYS.
- old friends in UK report long and tenacious respiratory illnesses; old friends in Florida – death of their old dog, but themselves are upbeat, even enrolled in the local college to study the Civil War battles.
- Spring has Sprung!

Some have meat and cannot eat,
Some can not eat that want it:
But we have meat and we can eat,
Sae let the Lord be thankit.
