A Friday few (January 27, 2006)

Been a while since I linked one of my favorite newspapers: The New Zealand Herald. This one was too good not to. An up-market bordello named Whalers? I’m no businessman but I’m not sure that’s the image you want to conjure.

I have mixed feelings about this. There’s a ton of work to be done in the Greater New Orleans area. We don’t have nearly enough people back to do all of it. They’re here and they’re working. They’re living in their cars and in tents under overpasses. The work needs to get done and they are willing AND able to do it. The Latinos working where I am are extraordinarily industrious. On the other hand, they’re living in their cars and in tents under overpasses.

Chicago or New York? I guess it’s a lively debate if you live in one of those cities. To me, they’re nice places to visit. I prefer living in the country, though.

And the seasons
They go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down

Now all I can think about is lunch."
