Thank you Jester, but I really thought that it was YOU who out of everybody really understood the dilemma of that small elderly (broke?) congregation, their struggle to keep their church going, everybody safe while at the same time also wanting to maintain the cute, historic structure……at some point, people need to make decisions. They knew thier priorities…… in the end, a church is a living thing formed for the support of a religious community, not primarily a museum. I remember once going to Montreal and my friend and I went to Notre Dame there. I had to pay to get into the church. How depressing! I would rather go to a church with folding chairs in an auditorium than to have to pay to go to church/museum. I walked in past someone sitting at the door and they called me back to pay.
is fairway (used to shop there when i lived in my first apartment in harlem) the one with beans you scoop? cuz you can just fill your pockets up with beans or open up a box of macaroni and fill the remainder of the empty space with beans too) honestly, with food prices sky rocketing, more and more people are going to be shoplifting from supermarkets (one of the easiest place to shoplift and the last place where you’d actually get in trouble). if you dress up homeless looking youll get even less trouble. tuff times call for tuff measures. no that aint my balls, it’s an heirloom tomato!
Hey Jester, I didn’t want to insert myself into yet another Brownstoner brouhaha the other day, but I thought that you were dead on in your discussion about the Church and the steeples. I thought out of everybody you were the one who understood that group’s dilemma.
True – but you had periods when you might expect volatility — It used to be that you got excitement in July around the time of the “frost”, when South American coffee trees were subject to frost damage; then everybody got smart and started replanting further north and away from the danager of frost. Now the whole world is aswirl with the same dynamics as other commodities (investor demand, wacko weather, weak dollar on easing, growing demand from China and India) on top of some very coffee specific problems. Colombia is a relatively small producer from a global perspective but considered to be a very high quality “milds” producer. They are completely replacing their trees and this coincided with a couple of years of floods, so you have a crazy market…

Yes. One has simulated bloody hand prints, so it looks like you just came from a gruesome crime scene!

Thank you for the compliment, Dona. You are quite impressive yourself!

Personally, I break all the rules and have a lot of fun doing it.
