Nor’easter Day 1
Let’s start with good news on this stormy day. Headline from nypost.com: “Missing 2-year-old found after massive search led by FBI.” More great work from what is once again the world’s foremost law enforcement agency, concentrating on crime, not partisan politics.
From NYP: “Firefighters stretched to breaking point after homeless people spark over 12K fires in Los Angeles.” SMH.
Probably doesn’t mean anything regarding the midterms, but it’s nice to hear. Headline from foxnews.com: “Neyland Stadium erupts in cheers as Trump arrives for Tennessee-Texas showdown.”
From FN: “Divers uncover haunting stone structures hidden for centuries beneath North Sea.” Shipden was a lost medieval town off the coast of Norfolk, England, that was swallowed by the sea in the 14th century, way before global warming could get to it.

PBS is running a new documentary on Andy Kaufman. It’s interesting but a bit odd, as he was. Although it includes his feud with wrestling great Jerry Lawler, the famous showdown on Late Night with David Letterman ends with the slap, omits the rivetting profanity filled tirade by AK. The title he bestowed on himself still makes me laugh:
Day One of the Nor-easter went well. I completed a couple of tasks, one being getting rid of my microwave, which I hardly used. I’ll be surprised if I regret it… I started working on a story idea I’m not sure will go anywhere, but I felt the same about Pocket Knife, which I’m very happy with, so we’ll see. The current one involves people calling a center in search of TV characters they believe actually exist. Two pages so far… And it looks like I have a cold for the first time in ages. The post-nasal drip is annoying. Since heat isn’t coming up yet, it’s cold in the apartment.
