Today’s Menu

From foxnews.com, edited by yours truly: A new restaurant, Urban Taqueria in Albuquerque, New Mexico, has sparked controversy, naming items after popular phrases used by President Trump. “The Wall,” “The Immigrant” and “Lock Her Up” are on the menu. The owner, Hanif Mohamed, an immigrant, said the terms are all in fun, and that 99% of the customers have no problem with it. So if you’re in the neighborhood…

Isn’t it interesting and ironic that Hollywood elites are calling for a sort of blacklisting of Trump donors. Oh, well, we all practice selective outrage to varying degrees.

Headline at NY Post.com: “Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband wants divorce after affair bombshell.” If she were living in the Muslim world she might be stoned. Another headline: “New NYC teachers given book with essay titled Dear White Teacher. I wonder if there’s one titled Dear Black Teacher.

Certain stores in “conceal and carry states” are asking customers to leave their guns behind. I hope potential mass murderers aren’t taking notes on this.

Ezekiel Elliott has been in trouble with the law several times. Despite this, the Dallas Cowboys have signed him to a six-year, $90 million contract. I wonder if it includes a forfeiture clause tied to behavior.

I still haven’t gotten the car as close to my usual nook as I’d like, so I had to work a bit harder than usual today, hauling the wares back and forth about 40 yards. The wheeled basket and luggage carrier that have come into my possession make the job a lot easier than it used to be, but I still caution myself about overworking, going at it too fast. My thanks to the woman who bought Dangerous by Amanda Quick, and to the gentleman who purchased The Janson Directive by Robert Ludlum; and to local barber Viktor, who found two works in Russian to his liking; and to Cabbie, who did a two-for-one swap of thrillers; and to the Braniac brothers, who dispatched their home attendant with three books, one of them on Kabbalah.
