West Side Salvation – West Side Hwy

During the Koch Administration, city contracted businesses had to sign a “non-discrimination” clause which included gays and lesbians. The Salvation Army refused based on religious beliefs. Koch told them they weren’t the only service org in town and if I remember correctly he fired them. I haven’t donated a single thread to them since. HOUSING WORKS gets all of my donations. Down with religious dogma.

With such diversity of life on the planet, most of our conceptions of life on other worlds are anthropomorphically derived. Yet why would they look like us- a relatively young primate species, as other life on this planet is so strange and bizarre – and inextricably linked?

Cool Ideas for Summer – Italian Ices

This Italian Ices vendor sells to my students on the corner where I teach in Amersfort, Flatlands. This was Edwin at the Atlantic Antic last year. I gave him a copy of this today. He gave me a large tropical fruit mixed ice in return. Priceless.
