Mart. was approaching the building as I was leaving, and he actually mildly greeted me.
Investigating local print shops for NYBD. Design Studio, 35th Ave., was closed. Walked a bit with Σπύρος after running into him on 72nd St. and he recommended I check out the very print shop that was my next destination.
37th Ave. (3985–90). Print Fair was technically open but the person who could quote me prices was on break. Work at اپنا بازار (3985, 3990). Apparently, City Coffee is closed (3986). A. זאַק sitting by the post office with neighbors. I walked looking for any additional print shops but found none. Ran into R’da and stopped to chat, telling her that her necklace‐like music player looked like fish. “This is so pathetic”: woman robbed by vending machine outside F’town (3989).
Pretty springtime trees on 63rd St. (3991–92).
Rinds, dish scrubbers, a pumice stone and frozen tilapia from 💲🌳, Queens Blvd. Cashier N’bi donated a quarter that was lying around.
Graffito truck and el on 64th St. (3993–94).
Roosevelt Ave. (3995–98). Various construction sites (3995–97). Welcome Conv. worker (3998).
37th Ave. Returned to PF and was surprised how high the prices were for color printing of palm cards. Went to both F’town and FD. Eggs, a can of mackerel (thinking it might no longer be available at 💲🌳), chicken Franks and frozen spinach from F’town. Saw R’mon eating in the western part of the cashier lanes. Sexy C’los(?) was nearly invisible changing signs while standing between the display units and the windows. I could have gotten some good video footage of his doing it were it shot from outside, but it was raining. I was whistling “It’s De‐lovely” and was presumably heard by the older fag who later approached me while I was inspecting my eggs and told me my mother had taught me well. Some six‐dollar deli item (a chicken?) plus cheese ends from FD. I investigated mackerel prices due to the possible crisis of 💲🌳’s no longer carrying it. The adorable new S. Asian deli worker was there as well as a young customer with a gorgeous posterior who came very close to me in the deli area. Was that the fairly cute night manager entering as I was leaving? Kl’d seen through the DR window.
