Lobby memorandum (4323).

37th Ave. Mixed‐meat Bologna sausage, olives and cheese ends from FD. Light rain.

Constitutional. (74th?) St. (4324).

34th Ave. (4325–26). Ongoing Travers Pk. renovation (4325). Man and dog, although the intent of recording was to get the couple awkwardly carrying things (4326).

Boy running on 73rd St. (4327).

Al’to and tremendous Mike were entering via the service entrance as I returned. I greeted a slender, likely gay neighbor, and then handsome מיכאל פֿ.‏ held the main door open for me with a big smile.

B’way (4328–33). Construction work at the former Korean church, including the worker who answered his mobile phone (4329–30). Other workers (4331). Women carrying a shared load (4332–33).

Northern Blvd. (4334–41, 6851–59). Motorcyclists (4334). Free stuff (4335–36, 4339–40). Body wash, antibacterial wipes, cotton rounds, toothbrush cases, canned mackerel, paper towels, reading glasses, rinds, leis, a garland, paper plates (for NYBD), a dish brush and plastic forks (i.e., everything I wanted) from 💲⁠🌳 (6851–59). My cashier was cute but hefty Alex, but نور was the adjacent cashier (6856–59). Young man on stationary motorbike (4341).

B’way. (4342–55). More of the church work (4342–43). Workers on break (4344–49, 4351–53). Similar work outside the ਸਿੱਖ temple (4350, 4354). Worker and tarp at WP (4355).

35th Ave. (4356–63).

37th Ave. (4364–69). Magic and strawberry/granola trail mixes from DR (17:59). Kl’d was standing outside an employee room showing someone photos on his camera. There was a black father with slightly annoying, evidently mixed‐race kids, the boy being addressed as “Solomon.” When we were both at our separate cashiers, I could hear the father telling his cashier, who had also heard the father say the boy’s name, that his name is “really” (or that his “real name” is) שלמה. Even though it perfectly fit the description in the circular, the strawberry/granola trail mix was not coming up at the discount price, and my cashier was going through her talking points to “inform” me that the register must be correct, and then walked away from the register to show me that there was no sale sign; but when I insisted, she spoke to a manager who inspected both product and circular and concluded I should get the lower price. Man with his arm around another’s shoulders (4364–69).

Man being picked up by e.m.t. (4370). Because there were annoying upstairs neighbors hanging around the front of the building with a child, I decided to use the service entrance but came face‐to‐face with blue tape barricading the second doorway (per 4323). Su. saw me walking back out and asked if I had been able to pass through the barricaded area because the paint had dried. Some cute tall neighbor held the elevator door for me until I indicated I use the stairs.
