At FD, no one seemed to know how much the hot nuts cost. (They were two dollars.)
At fifty‐six degrees, I could go out without a jacket in December.
Wow, what a hunk was the cashier at the grocery store! I bought cornflake mixture and also stopped in Ajani (अजनी?) for sweets. Their prices are high and selection is poor but I bought stuff anyway. The cashier answered his telephone with “السلام عليكم,” and it sounded like he was addressing me, so I responded with “ועליכם שלום.”
I blame the slowness of the Yelp and Swarm apps for preventing my photographing at least three unrelated attractive gay‐looking men encountered on my way to the Jackson Heights Greenmarket this morning, leaving me with only second‐rate men. Even beginning to check in so early that I can barely see the place doesn’t help much. I think that was Len M. I saw who gave me something of a greeting in the form of a knowing glance.
It’s in the sixties this mid‐December day so I wore no jacket. And now I sit here alone in the Garden School being and embodying EHSQ. Last week, I was annoyed doing it because my subsequent plans were in Manhattan (SA), so I could have attended the NYSEC platform instead. This week, I shouldn’t mind as much because my subsequent plans are in Queens (NYBD), but I only got about an hour and a half of sleep.
I received text messages and a voice call from Carlin but I could not respond because I was on my way with my hands full.

Watabore is a tremendous “scientific giant” who, instead of eating humans or animals, eats information. He falls ill after devouring too many indiscriminate opinions and cannot be cured until he alters his diet to only eating opinions he deems worthy after careful consideration. Among the characters to offer him questionable medical advice is the Man in the Moon.
