Sunday Stroll
Here’s a New York Post photo of a home in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn:
Sad headline from nypost.com: “University tells fraternity it can’t hang Xmas wreath on door.” Emory in Atlanta. I wonder if it allows BLM signs… Also from down south: “Alabama judge who called colleagues ‘Uncle Tom’ removed from bench.” But it endears her to leftists, BLM.
Good news from NYP: “Americans evacuated from Afghanistan by vets group land at JFK.” According to the accompanying article by Kieran Ungemach, the 50 were rescued by Project Dynamo, a volunteer, civilian group led by former military members and current members of the Reserves. Kudos, although it’s sad that it has to be done this way, as if it would be wrong for the military to do it.
It will be tough to find a more amusing headline today than this from NYP: “Married couple gets wedding anniversary tattoos — husband gets wrong date.”
Attention sci-fi writers. Headline from newsmax.com that perhaps should have been expected: “Sweden Starts Microchipping COVID Passports in People.”
Kudos — for now — to West Virginia senator Joe Manchin, a Democrat who will not vote for Quid Pro Joe’s leftist wet dream boondoggle, Build Back Better. Don’t be surprised if BBB is passed early next year.
Here’s a quote from an article by Shiv Sudhakar at foxnews.com: “These vaccines are very effective against severe disease. Our study suggests that individuals who are vaccinated and then exposed to a breakthrough infection have super immunity.” The study was done before Omicron appeared. It includes Delta and “unknown variants.” Am I supposed to hope I get infected? There are unknown variants?
Headline from FN: “Nearly 1 in 5 Americans admit they’ve made money decisions based on horoscopes: Survey.” Lending Tree study. “When the moon is in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligns with Mars…” (Ragni, Rado, McDermott)
Here’s another NYP pic from Dyker:
The floating book shop didn’t get much sun today, but it was out of the wind, so conditions were tolerable. I retreated to the car twice to keep myself from getting cold and having to bail early. My thanks to the two ladies who combined to buy five books in Russian, and to Johnny Boy, who had high praise for Rising Star and this time purchased Present and Past. A neighborhood lifer, Italian-American, he felt he knew the characters. Man, that had me feeling good. I’m disappointed that RS hasn’t sold better, although it is profitable.
