Mixed‐meat Bologna, chicken Franks, antipasto salad and Münster cheese from FD (08:44).
Was that C’rl W. I saw across 72nd St. looking comparatively dapper walking in a button‐down shirt that fit him?
Walked mostly along 35th Ave. (6754–55) to the starting point of the parade.
37th Ave. (6756–6810). Ran into some old friends (Seb. M., M’chael M.) who, along with a few others, were dressed as food indicative of the neighborhood. M. M. had a single fake şaşlık sticking up out of his head like an antenna (blurrily visible in 6779) and I joked that it might allow him to receive radio transmissions from parts of the world where that dish is commonplace, and then he made sure to make a stupid partisan statement on a day that should be about neighborhood cohesiveness and unity, saying that Republicans would believe such a thing because they don’t understand science. JH Halloween parade. Walked with the city council, of all groups, because תאומא neglected to bring the EHSQ banner and he had previously been on the council. After the parade, briefly went into PS 69 (6789) for a tiny event of parade organizers and, apparently, also city councilors. The parade was much more fun and provided more photo opportunities so I soon returned thereto. A young woman I didn’t know came up to me to compliment my helmet by referring to it as a “sick mask.” As it became more and more difficult to take photos that weren’t blurry and as I became more and more jealous of the children receiving candy, I went to DR for four packages of trail mix, three for me and one to bring to H’rry’s the following day.
