The weather here is amazing, and the blooming trees make the landscape look as if it is covered with fireworks frozen in mid-bang.

Pass the Nebulizer this tree crud is killing me. Westchester NY has 8 to 10 times higher pollen count than usual. Armonk measured 6,790 pollen particles per cubic meter (15 to 89 is moderate, 90 to 1,500 is considered high).

YAT is upon us. Now that the weather has turned, my favorite bar - Barramundi, 147 Ludlow - has opened their garden, as well as opening their doors a little earlier. Officially they don't open until 6:00, but I've secured the O.K., for us to arrive at 5:30 tomorrow evening (thursday.) That gives us an opening half hour in the garden undisturbed, and even after that it doesn't get crowded for quite some time.

Of course I'm open to other suggestions as well.

It's All In The Swagger

May 7, 2001 (NYT) News Analysis: To European Eyes, It's America the Ugly
By ROGER COHEN

BERLIN, May 6 — Before becoming president, George W. Bush seemed acutely aware of the need for a country as powerful as the United States to show restraint. "If we are an arrogant nation, they will resent us," he said. "If we're a humble nation, but strong, they'll welcome us."

The words appear to have been forgotten. A torrent of hostile articles in Europe has greeted Mr. Bush's first three months in office. Their chief theme has been the arrogance of what the German weekly Der Spiegel recently called "the snarling, ugly Americans."

On its Web site, the respected Munich daily Süddeutsche Zeitung lists seven articles summing up the themes of Mr. Bush's first 100 days. They are not unrepresentative of widespread European views.


The titles include: "Selling Weapons to Taiwan: Bush Throws His Weight Around in the Pacific"; "North Korea: Bush Irritates the Asians"; "World Court: No Support From United States"; "Iraq: Bombing Instead of Diplomacy"; and "Climate Agreement: The United States Abandons the Kyoto Protocol."

"Conservation may be a sign of personal virtue, but it is not a sufficient basis for a sound, comprehensive energy policy," Dick Cheney says. In other words, "Ride your bikes around the commune all you want, hippies, but the rest of us have to get to work." According to today's front page New York Times article, Cheney's nominal boss uses energy efficient heat-pumps to cool the ranch in Crawford; meanwhile the rest of us are burning high-cost, polluting fossil fuel (which, of course, we are expected to buy at a premium from his business cronies). I'm reminded of Philip K. Dick's novel The Penultimate Truth, where the masses live in crowded bunkers deep underground, hoodwinked that there's an atomic war going on topside, while an elite is in fact basking in green estates on the underpopulated surface, living off the masses' labor while simulating news reports of an ongoing "crisis." Science fiction? Not if you believe Cheney's BS.

"Boogie Bass" and the shameless imitator "Billy Bass" are the runaway popular novelty items of the day. To wit, if you've been watching The Sopranos season III, you are aware that Boogie Bass throws Tony into mad hysteria (once at the "Botta Bing" and again last week implied via the glazed look & fade out ending after Meadow gave him one for x-mas). Hack Boogie or Billy to cuss like a mook.

Take me to the river.......
