The Waiting time,

 

 From When the Lights Flash, to when the Drawbridge Closes and the barriers Open, Under the BQE is  Seven Minutes, twenty Five. Sixty Seconds, The Waiting time While Sitting in the car with your parents during the wait..........Walking to my car on a brisk and Rainy Morning, I Got that funny feeling, Looking back I saw the Squishy Splat and immediately headed to the curb to step in the first puddle. Knowing it was coming, I praised the Almighty for the retribution at laughing at the rabbi, Not as painful as it could have been...A double edge sword, when a douchebag loves and roots for the same sports team you love. If they win the DB is happy, and they lose you are Not........Annoyed, at an annoying post, from an annoying person, Showing him giddly heading to his Seat at the Ranger game, as his wife was narrating the post, lead to a moment of  Weakness, with me rooting especially hard for them to lose, Despite not having any skin in the game. To my delight, they Lost, though I did feel bad rooting against family and good friends, but definitely not bad enough

Shopping at

 


   an Upscale Jewish Supermarket, On a Thursday afternoon, The First Two Signs That I don't really fit in is the Mask and the Yarmulka. In a light Hearted exchange with one of the Counter clerks, I Impressed him with whatever Yiddish I knew, So when he asked me where my " Kappal" or head covering was I pointed at the Mask, Gleefully He replied the Yarmulka Offers a lot more protection.,... Take that Foochi.!! The long lines inspired me to use the self check out. Scanning my items, I noticed one of the Heimeseh  Stores Workers, Coincidentally  " Straightening" out the shelf right near me, Continuing Scanning I Squinted  at every Scan to "make Sure" I won't be accused of any funny Business. In an amazing twist of Fate the Shelf looked perfect, just as my Receipt came out of the Machine.... Heading out, I called one of the employees to check my bags, but they Shrugged at said it was OK," Are you Sure"?.............

White People,

 

    Can be very Scary, Especially During these times. The Garbage shoot is roughly 12 Steps from my Apartment door, impetuously ,negligently, but innocuously I did NOT put on a 3 ply Cloth mask to take out the paper and the trash. Luck Had that I ran into a Middle aged Woman of white color, who shot me a look as if  I put it in the wrong hole, First reaction was to check my Pants, perhaps I popped wood, or even worse,  She Snarked " Please be mindful of others" and turned away, I apologized profusely for my transgression, and put the matter to rest.......When Things are going crappy, Do we Thank Gd that they aren't crappier?.......On the Banks  of the Potomac, There we sat and lamented the Loss of our democracy.........If I forget 01/06.....
