NOBODY
ASKED ME BUT.......
1)
What
a wonderful time of year autumn is. Just
too short for all the wonderful colors, farms with Mazes (like the play on Corn
Maze (Maize).
2)
It
was obvious that both candidates were staring at teleprompters for their
closing statements. Check their eyes as
opposed to how the looked during the earlier segments.
3)
What
is so rare as a day in June? Probably
most days in October in the Northeast and all those great but short lived
colors.
4)
Obama
Care---now that he has decided it he likes the term(good for him) may well be a
great thing. I just made an appointment
with a doctor and the first question on the phone was about my insurance. Without insurance you are screwed. With it you just get your appointment. We need a setup equal to Medicare.
5)
LBJ
may well be a most under-rated Pres. given the sad events of Viet Nam. Today we speak of national (local) issues and
he was a leader in them all---Civil Rights and Medicare—to mention two.
6)
How
the world changes always amazes me and it shouldn’t. Be it our relations with China, Viet Nam,
Germany, etc; Still I was intrigued by the article about the two combatants
during the Cuban Missile Crisis that now live nearby=the U S person on L I
and the Russian (Soviet) who moved to ---where else—Brooklyn. Whole new world.
7)
In
the “whole new world” department you have to wonder why Metro Cards
expire. Tokens never expired and
neither did coins. Sure they could melt
if the heat was intense enough but that would mean Armagedon so who cares.
8)
Perhaps
the MTA (in the NY area) should
think of issuing passports for a fee since their tolls are making it impossible
to traverse the area in an affordable way.
Passports are the way to go---divide and conquer by fees.
9)
A
delight to see the opening of the Roosevelt Island Park to honor FDR. When last did we see a regal and commanding
President?
10) I do believe that you will
find this Sunday’s broadcasts of both SUNDAY SIMCHA & TRADITIONS
interesting since on SS we have, not only a conversation with Zalmen Mlotek
about his revival of The Golden Land and a, hopefully, enjoyable Comedy Corner
for this pre-Halloween weekend and on Traditions we have some wonderful new
material along with the features and a special Halloween treat. Trust me---a rare treat by one of my
old---very old---favorites.
