Watching Porco Rosso for the first time and just the backgrounds alone are a reason to watch, let alone this sentiment.

Well the shark has pretty teeth dear
And he bares them pearly white
Just a jack-knife has MacHeath dear
And he keeps it out of sight
When the shark bites with its teeth dear
Scarlet billows start to spread

So in Les Mis, Hugo is meticulous in describing the wallpaper in a convent in fauborg Saint-Antoine. I wonder why. Yesterday, I read this in a book on the French Revolution. (Popkins's A New World Begins)

In Hammett's The Thin Man: Advice from Nick Charles to Detective Guild on a particularly problematic character whose behavior sounds like it qualifies them to be a tech exec. Or in the Republican party. Stay strong.

Yesterday we learned the black dog can spell. At least he understands T R E A T now.

This was the dog who had broken out of his cage, freed another dog, and was trying to open the cash register in the shelter on his met day, Nov 5, 2021.

Tomorrow is his get day. Happy Get Day, Vinko!

This little section contains some of the last unpaved streets in NYC. It's all little bungalows, mostly owned by the descendants of Italian immigrants. In the 70's, folks about to pass through with boom boxes blasting would turn them off here; they'd get beat.This is upside down crazy world.

Once again, Mamdani _barely_ lost Mario Cuomo's formative political grounds in the heavily Italian sections of Corona, my home neighborhood. This is astonishing to me. 1/2

Scorsese documentary on TV. There's a lotta Corona in Part 1: Stranger in a Strange Land. It is interesting to hear his view of my old hood a full generation before me.
