Lots of Fujianese working as sushi chefs in Brooklyn. My daughter goes to school with a lot of Fujianese kids and she hears the “Fuji” talk right away when we go to Japanese restaurants (the one on Franklin south of Atlantic (Bergen?); the one where Greene Ave. starts at Fulton). (Not me, I just recently started to hear the difference between Mandarin and Cantonese, which is like saying the difference between English and French!)
DIBS, she thinks they are cute too but she’s only 13!
technical question about window air conditioners. this totally blows since it’s already the middle of august but i need a new AC. the one i have now keeps freezing up after an hour or so and then stops air coming in. the filter is clean and stuff. i think it might need a shot of freon. where can i get that (do they still even make that?) i dont want to have to buy a new AC just for another month or so. maybe i’ll just tough it out, but when im hot and sweaty i get really cranky and i dont sleep well. plus i sleep on a leather sofa with no sheets so when it’s hot and humid it gets all sticky and gross.

Thanks, I want to drink as I read and sit in Prospect Park!
rob, or you can just buy one of the standing tower fans – $50. plus it’s more friendly on the electric bill

jester, I got something similar at Bed, Bath & Beyond.
Somehow etson I just don’t see you in the same league as Hitler and Mussolini. Unless you are hiding something from us.
The free pass will have to be discussed with my pro-feline group and we will get back to you.
