18 June 2017, Sunday

I wished at least three evident fathers whom I encountered on the street a happy Fathers Day, but only one responded or even took notice.

34th Ave. (0607–18). Cyclists and jogger (0607). Loudly and repeatedly sneezing man whom I didn’t get on video because I assumed each sneeze I heard to be the last. JH G’market (0610–18). Strawberries (0610–11). Magenta flowers (0612). Both “wow” and “woo” on fish/seafood chalkboard (0613).

EHSQ at Garden Sch., 79th St. As usual, no one but תאומא and I.

34th Ave. (0619–37). תאומא introduced me as Mike to man collecting signatures from registered Democrats. JH G’market again (0619–33). Garlic scapes (0631–32). Aztec Fuji (0633).

Bird on 35th Ave. (0638).

Still a bit ill from Friday (and apparently forgetful too), I did not attend FSE.

Cheated by buying orange chicken and wonton/egg drop soup from LK, 35th Ave. (6318–23).

Pete Buttiġieġ, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, is of Maltese background and has an Arabic surname: أبو الدجاج ‘owner of chickens’ or ‘poulterer’. 🐔🐔🐔

Commentary

– I misread that as “Feeling lovely tonight.” (01:15)

– It’s cultural appropriation! (03:46)

– Yes, literally it would refer to a cock. (14:07)

– I know if my father is alive or dead. He’s dead. (15:36)

– It’s wrong to say all that! He said to name one good thing. (15:49)
