May 22, 2010


Sailing to Byzantium

That is no country for old men. The young
In one another's arms, birds in the trees
—Those dying generations—at their song,
The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas,
Fish, flesh, or fowl, commend all summer long
Whatever is begotten, born, and dies.
Caught in that sensual music all neglect
Monuments of unaging intellect.



In this week's Rolling Stone:The Global Land Grab by McKenzie Funk: A new breed of investor is planning to get rich off global warming, overpopulation and famine. Meet the new capitalists of chaos. The article is about Philippe Heilberg .

The article mentions the above book as Heilberg's recreational reading. Have to try it. A UPI Article describes the essence of what was in Rolling Stone.



Crowded at 10:00 a.m.



Lots of Police about.



Strawberries at $7 a Quart or $4 a Pint.



Coming up June 12 -13, 8th Annual Big Apple Barbecue Block Partyat Madison Square Park. The Fast Pass is now $125 for $100 worth of BBQ, it is still worth it to beat the enormous lines.



Big Ed and "Whole Hog" BBQ will be back.
