I’m Irish. I’m in a largely Irish neighborhood. Everybody who’s not a fireman works in construction (no, not like that, they really do build things). Cement I got.

Funny thing is, the Bronx has a river too, but it’s so shallow you can’t hide a shopping cart in it.

East River at the Hell Gate, I think. Seems only fitting. Damn ignorance-perpetrators.

Anyway, I’ll be scanning the Post papers in tonight or tomorrow and putting them on my yahoo picture thing.

I don’t know… Some copies are selling for as much as $76. Not a bad turnaround on a day-old newspaper.
