Oy!

I already made a tweet about this but I think that it warrants a post as well...

Earlier today I was in my apartment and I heard a dog barking like crazy. I had never heard this dog before, but it did not bother me that much since I was in my apartment and I could not see it [and it could not see me.]

But then, when I was exiting the building at around 3:00, this guy was coming into the building with his dog that was barking like crazy and was fighting to break through the leesh and charge right at me. I mean the guy was struggling to keep control of the dog. My goodness!

Of course, as is usual for dog owners, he tried to convince me in vein that the dog was just excited about the mirror in the entrance way. Well I had heard the dog earlier and I knew better.

All I have to say is that I hope that this individual enjoys following his dog around town cleaning up his ****.

Don't Get Upset

Today it was raining and a boy from the Post Pesach Program said to me, that it is great that in America you can get upset about the weather because in Israel rain is a good thing. So I said to him:

"Why would you want to get upset?"

לא תקם ולא תטר

My Place

Now that it is nice outside, I may be spotted outside this location on 186 street. most recently, i was priveledged to have an encounter with gaby and we learned some of rav Nachman's teachings.

Although I do like the area outside the building, I currently have no plans of ever entering into it.

Still Empty

For Best Results

After prayers today I was blessed with an interesting solution to the age old problem.

The most efficient way to find a needle in a hay stack may be to play in the hay stack for a few minutes until you get poked with the needle. Then you will know where it is.

Politics

I just saw this really funny thing in the Jewish Voice

"America's President Barack Hussein Obama has worn out the knees of his pants crawling to appease.... his bowing, crawling and genuflecting has delighted his pants suppliers."
