The Passing Parade: Cheap Shots from a Drive By Mind

"...difficile est saturam non scribere. Nam quis iniquae tam patiens urbis, tam ferreus, ut teneat se..." "...it is hard not to write Satire. For who is so tolerant of the unjust City, so steeled, that he can restrain himself... Juvenal, The Satires (1.30-32) akakyakakyevich@gmail.com

Just thinking

So I am sitting here at the coffeehouse at the end of our happy little burg's main street listening to a group of young women in very short shorts--they all have very nice legs, although I realize that it is sexist to notice such things, even at my age--and they are talking about the advantages of various academic degrees and how they can impact one's future earnings. They are all drinking coffee and are very happy with each other's company, as small birds hop around the brick floor of  the outside patio eating the crumbs of various kinds of pastries left behind by the customers. Could the young woman who is planning to become a lawyer help these birds sue this coffeehouse for giving them diabetes, I wonder? Or should these birds just stop eating the crumbs? Again, I wonder.

    It has been too long again. The summer is over, and date of the last post hasn't changed. Say something,AA. You're worrying me.
