Eating day.

72nd St. clouds resembled a painting (8159–60).

35th Ave. Well‐dressed man in jacket on mobile (8161–62). Lin’s “Let us be free!” gate graffito (8163–64). Man walking cute dogs, handsome man with scarf (8165–68). Attempt to document autos on BQE (8169–70).

61st St. Thrift shops. Book in Ωmega I wondered might be in the public domain (8171). “$2” on composition books looked like “82[¢].” SA. Gay men there briefly, one blond and slender, the other a hunky Latin who reminded me a bit of Jorge L. and who heard me quietly greet him as he passed me on entering. Retarded worker who was talking to himself had a playful demeanor and said “Oopsy” when he realized he was blocking someone’s way. Tremendous, heavy, very illustrated book History of Art: A Survey of the Major Visual Arts from the Dawn of History to the Present Day, by H. W. Janson with Dora Jane Janson, 1974, for only two dollars. Handsome pacing man who turned his back (8172). Truck roof worker on 39th Ave. (8173–76). Pretty 37‒61 (8177–79). Loud woman on the phone (8180).

B’way grey alien face (8181). Papi van workers, including one showing undies (8182–85).

35th Ave. Ruhinga/রোহিঙ্গা (Rohingya) sign at Nokshi (8186).

37th Ave. Box fan from DM because my apt. is like a sauna. Tall worker seen cleaning in FD. Smiled at Esti as I passed DR because he happened to be facing the window and noticed me.

Bill M. and attractive workers at F’town. Cute, bending deli worker (not the usual flirtatious one) with red underwear (8187–91) who helped me to identify the pre‐cut cheese I was buying as herb‐coated mozzarella. Worker with broom or mop or something (8192–93). My favorite (8194–97) near the door as I was leaving.
