Goal!

RIP soccer legend Pele, 82. I’m not a fan of the game, but always was impressed by his positive aura. Photo from Google Images:

From a nypost.com article by Jasmine Kazlauskas, edited by yours truly: Scotland Yard made a chilling discovery while trawling through old archives. A face was found etched into the handle of a wooden walking stick owned by the police officer who spent years attempting to catch him. It is the only known composite of Jack the Ripper, who murdered five women in 1888. Photo from GI:

An NYP editorial reveals New York’s grim population news, edited by YT: The Empire State is #1 in both percentage loss 0.9% and the absolute size of the decline, around 180,000, 431,000 over two years. Worse, between 2019 and 2020 the state lost 9.5% of income tax filers earning more than $750,000 and 1.3% of its millionaires. Take a bow, pols. All leaders in areas suffering the most may soon have a scapegoat if China’s Covid surge spreads worldwide.

From an NYP editorial, in my own words: it’s not easy keeping up with woke terminology. A recent poll found that “chestfeeding” is the most rejected term. Nudniks substitute it for “breastfeeding.”

It was a nice day to sell stuff curbside. Unfortunately, the incoming exceeded the outgoing at today’s session of the floating book shop. My thanks to the donors, and to the gentleman who bought two hardcovers in Russian, one a translation of Danielle Steel; and to the woman who purchased Raising Trump: Family Values from America’s First Mother
by Ivana Trump; and to my Constant Benefactress, who insisted on paying for The Mythology Bible: The Definitive Guide to Legendary Tales by Sarah Bartlett.
