They are more capitalist than we....<br /><br />If you are lucky you might find a Mex family that makes (and sells)"churros" -they are essentially straight donuts with typical powder sugar or plain.<br /><br /><br />As for bootlegs, most of my friends are Mex or Asian and have gotten computers that I have rebuilt for them. They -always- ask for cd and now dvd burners.<br /><br />When there is a sale on blanks at Best Buy etc. you'll often see these little guys stocking up.<br /><br />"African Boy" Madonna: My future neighbor. I am not looking forward to this. It will take up to a year for the renovation of the bldg and in that time I hope she changes her mind.<br /><br />Yeah, this was a helluva a country.<br /><br />When we moved to an apt, my neighbor was a phone installer. His wife stayed at home looking after his 3 kids, he had a 2-3 year old car and rented a bungalow in the Rockaways each summer. Sent his kids to Cat-lick school too.<br /><br />BTW: That townhouse I mentioned went for around $60k back in 1956. My Father bought it on the G.I. Bill (mortage).<br /><br />It's sad to realize what has happened to the relatively easy American dream we once enjoyed. <br /><br />We have allowed capitalism to become "holy" and it has eaten us.Linonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1916031369325814810.post-26187902545200916622009-05-04T01:43:00.000-04:002009-05-04T01:43:00.000-04:00Thanksgiving!

Luxury indeed!
Boy it was a good thing ...Hi Lino,<br /><br />Luxury indeed!<br /><br />Boy it was a good thing my family was working class. <br /><br />We had a 'nice' smelling Bklyn brownstone.<br /><br />...the kind only the upper middle class can afford now. <br /><br />Back then my dad on a baker's salary provided a house, sent us to catholic school, and later university.<br /><br />Imagine such today.<br /><br />This 'used' to be a hellava country.<br /><br />Anyway so far no wildlife in my happy digs. However the "smell" still moves about,..and changes.<br /><br />Different stinkiness levels.<br /><br />You have a point it's probably the cooking. There's this guy that goes to Broad Channel to fish.<br /><br />When he come home the whole damned building is toxic. <br /><br />Good grief the guy is actually eating the mutant martian fish from the bay!<br /><br />Seems to like it too!<br /><br />Did I mention the strange sounds. I think there's secret factories here.<br /><br />Our dear concierge perhaps getting a cut?<br /><br />Anyway there's a probable dvd bootleg hothouse, a sweatshop, and a fence for stolen car batteries in the basement.<br /><br />Hey it's cool with me all this. Folks have to make a living, but they're noisy.<br /><br />Anyway as you can see the digs are coming along swell.<br /><br />More as events happen,...and they will!<br /><br />Peace.Uncle Sydney 2012https://www.blogger.com/profile/06315955207217416368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1916031369325814810.post-83881589138636654372009-05-03T23:55:00.000-04:002009-05-03T23:55:00.000-04:00"Not only that, but today a mysterious stinky..."Not only that, but today a mysterious stinky smell turned up. It seems to move about."<br /><br />Ethnic neighborhood.<br /><br />Here on the upper east side we get to enjoy distink-tive aromas of what some have paid $100 a plate for..plus the occasional hood fire.<br /><br />Hope my new neighbor, the one trying to adopt that African boy will like being in restaurant alley.<br /><br />As for stinky homes, well, nothing beat our old town house on 72nd bet Madison & Park. Luxury you say?? How about having DC electricity so that you can't have -any- modern (early 1960s era) appliances. NO tv or Hi-Fi, nothing with a transformer. Did have a tiny private elevator w/bare bulb which my Father and I rode for "entertainment" -my Mother, the smart one would not use it.<br /><br />Then the stinky part, since we were so close to both the Park and railroad under Park ave, we had an insoluble -rat- problem.<br /><br />The last straw came during thanksgiving when one dies somewhere in the interstitial spaces and we could not find it. Perfect timing. We took our celebration to my Aunt's small but rat free apt.<br /><br />Anyway, look for smells near the floor line, under there is where things often meet their end. Most likely though you have a case of air currents bringing the aromatic neighbors to to you.Linonoreply@blogger.com
