Here’s a story the What is going to love.
Did you all see this in the NYT today? About the de-gentrification of one of those cutesy creative-class neighborhoods in Los Angeles. You know, the ones with the yarn stores and gift shops nobody really needs.

uh i think it’s pretty disrespectful to eat in a cemetary. actually i think it’s sorta wrong to just walk around and gawk there. unless youre into tombsex or something, i dont think it’s a very nice thing to do.
Greenwood Cemetery:
One of my favorite places in Brooklyn (I’ve only said it on here a zillion times). Definitely worth the trip. If you’re walking, wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for very hilly long walks (the place is huge).
Truthfully, hubby and I drive in, and drive around. We pull over by the side, park and walk a bit.
– Grab a map of the celebrities buried there and go on a hunt for their graves.
– Walk up the steps of Mausoleums and peer through the windows to see beautiful stained glass.
– Pack a lunch, sit by one of the lakes and enjoy the tranquility.
It’s stunningly beautiful in every season.
thinking about things like that don’t put things into perspective for me, benson. people back then were studier, more resilient to hard times, and in general more well-rounded when it comes to survival. what are glorified paper-pushers of today’s society to do if things really DO get tough? and back then joining in a war (granted if you got out of it alive) gave you and your family a set steady income for life, no? i dont know about that last part im sort of just assuming that there are great benefits to people who join the military and army and stuff. hells the janitor at my job was in the military and he gets to go to this special supermarket near the fort hamilton parkway(?) that has special prices for people and their families who were inlisted. he told me the prices of food i was like wow that’s awesome!. okay that was a tangent, but the thing is that i think we not prepared for hard times because as a peoples we’ve become lazy in general. that’s why crime was so rampant in the 70s and 80s. the 50s caused us to be so leisure-like and expect life to be a fairy tale. for 99.9 percent of people life is HARD and always a struggle. if you think life is supposed to be easy and youre not prepared to struggle and put hard work and effort to gain a minimal amount of sufficiency it’s so much easier to turn to crime and drugs.

I am sorry to report that spring was securitized and the tranches sold to several small Norwegian villages.
-this is very clever!
I’m sure those Norwegian Villages could use it as much as anyone, but what are “tranches”?

Perhaps you two can sip Manasshattans instead of Guinness.
In all seriousness, I think the What would be a fun drinking buddy.
If I used that “Zippy(sic) Do Da” line you’d call me a racist. Please, at least learn the proper line!!!!!
Maybe I can share a Black & Tan with you.
“Biff,
Green-wood is to die!”
sam- for shame.
And yes, biff- Greenwood is truly worthy of a trip.
