A New Yorkers' View of Gun Control

A New Yorkers' View of Gun Control

An article from Trib Live

During my last visit to New York City, I stumbled into an unexpected discussion about its restrictive gun polices.

The discussion occurred after I ducked into a coffee shop. The place was empty except for three transit employees.

“I don't know why the kid shot me,” said one of the men. “But I got myself some protection now.”

Curious, I introduced myself and asked the fellow about his story.

Auto Scam Turnaround: You Meet the Nicest People In A Honda

Yeah. I'd hit that.

                  Auto Scam Turnaround: You Meet the Nicest People In A Honda

      Jersey in the late 80s. She had an older Honda. She wanted a Camaro. The trade in wouldn't have been near enough for a down payment. She figured the insurance return, should it be wrecked or stolen, would be more than enough.

      So she removes all personal items, & has her boyfriend follow her across the Hudson to Harlem. Yes THAT Harlem.

      Parking it on a busy street, she leaves it unlocked, keys in the ignition. Then it's back to Jersey with her boyfriend. After a while she calls the police & reports her car missing.

      A couple weeks later, she gets a call from the local constabulary. New York City Impound called with the "good news". Her car had been found (Oh joy! Oh rapture!).

      On inquiring where it was found she was told the exact location. Where she left it. Sitting for almost two weeks in Harlem, doors unlocked, keys in ignition & no one had touched it!

      She drove the Honda a while longer & finally did get her camaro. Hopefully she doesn't look down on some folks as much as she used to.

To Grandmothers' House We Go Pt 2

      Thanksgiving at the grandparents in Elmira, NY was an annual ritual I always looked forward to. TV wise it was great as they had cable bringing in those NYC stations with all the kool movies & cartoons we couldn't see in central Ohio.

      Thanksgiving Day in New York City is known as "Gorilla Thursday". That's because WOR (Now WWOR) ch 9, would show King Kong, Son of Kong, & Mighty Joe Young back to back. WPIX ch 11, would show March of the Wooden Soldiers/Babes In Toyland (Laurel & Hardy) earlier in the week. In later years, WNEW ch 5 (I think.) would counter attack with some Godzilla flicks.

      One "memorable" Thanksgiving became something of a nightmare. I was going to be punished for some bogus infraction (I don't remember what it was, so it had to be bogus!). The punishment: Wash the dishes after the holiday meal. 30+ people! By myself. Dishwashers were an ultra-rare luxury in the 60s. Guess who DIDN'T have one!

      This wouldn't have bothered me so much except for one thing: Ch 5 was airing Creature From the Black Lagoon! Such perfect timing! Home video was nonexistant in the 60s, so you kiddies can stop thinking about how dumb I was for not DVRing it. Howzabout VHS? you ask. Yeah, right. We're talkin' the vacuum tube era, pal!

      There I was. A deprived "dyed in the wool" monster-kid missing out on his first chance of seeing one of the iconic Universal monsters of all time. And happening only a few feet away from where I was slaving away at those stupid dishes. Man! Wotta gyp!

      I eventually got over it ..... maybe.
