I rolled up the window as Katie deftly swerved around a fellow pressure washing his car on Broadway…. at night… in the dark…. His girl sat in the driver’s seat and he was wearing a jumpsuit. He was supposed to be pressure washing the side walk at Met Square. Funny!

3/16 actually.

I parked in front of a Vannegan (sp?) with Cathedral School and SLUH stickers on it. Excited, I wanted to leave a note just to say hi. The meter was flashing expired and I put in a dollar, left my business card and walked to meet Hans for lunch. I turned around, deciding to write something on my card. I wrote that I paid the meter, had gone to Cathedral and SLUH ‘97. While I was writing, I spotted some meter maids walking up the street. I was happy that the story got even better!

I had been thinking that it would be cool if I was the hero, like I’ve been twice before paying meters. Yeah, it happens a lot.

Talking to Christine Hooker Sisul, eyeing a giant Irish flag, I had the vision of 1930s Germans cheering the Nazi flag. The snow, which I had seriously mistaken for ash from a BBQ pit earlier, became the snow ash from Schindler’s List. I wonder what we believe today will become embarrassing, taboo, or laughable in the future.

I thought: a monied economy… I don’t claim this thought, however. Hans has identified that Liberal capitalism is the most fit. It also won’t help me make financial progress to rage against the machine.

Today a CID guide was hassled by some youths. Several cop cars pulled over the bus they jumped onto and cited the alpha youth with “disturbing the peace.” Police use “disturbing the peace” when they have nothing better.

I embarrassed Katie by calling her out as the most beautiful customer we’ve ever had, EVER!
Another customer complained until I explained that she was the most beautiful FEMALE customer ever. He conceded the truth.
