need cash for The National

Online personality aside lets give Bruce some slack.

The stuff shown on the video was actually quite nice.
And he used "I".
And actually seemed to be someone who is really into his collection.

And that's all that really should matter about any of us.

Lest you think I'm letting him off entirely....
The comment about the guy at the rangers game was way over the line.

And I've learned some new things about NY!
1) The strip clubs there involve singing. Seems a bit odd, and that's not how it goes sround here, but then NY is more metropolitain than Boston.
2)The trash trucks there burn the trash? Again, it seems odd and wasteful not to bring it to a place that will make some electricity by burning it but NY is the greatest city ever so it must be the way to go.

AND --NYC is less dirty, arrogant and crime ridden than when I was last there?
4 years ago or so it was plenty dirty. But I was only in Brooklyn.
And the people I was helping pick stuff up from insisted on putting the truck in the middle of the narrow street rather than partly in their own driveway I guess it's not arrogant to block the street?
And when I bumped a car and left a note for the owner his neighbors yelled at me.....Not "don't leave the police are coming" But "hey you can't park there" And when on the way out I accidentally hit a street sign while driving around a trash truck that had been abandoned in the middle of an intersection and then drove down a "no trucks" road because it was the most direct route - And nobody called the cops or even yelled anything....

Ok, Not a day of driving I'm at all proud of, but with me staying away I suppose technically NY is less crime ridden.
