I was on my way to that café on Henry Street, the one where we took all those portraits against the neutral-colored wall. Today, I sat there alone — alone with my Federal Courts book. I had a big latte and a tiny sandwich, and I chose an outdoor table, where I studied habeas corpus for the hundredth time and tried to collect my thoughts over the roar of the traffic on Atlantic Avenue.
But first, a tablescape:
I took many more photographs on my walk to and from the café. The first one started a theme of Brooklyn Heights-style Halloween decorations which I will manufacture into a separate post eventually. For now, here it is, the assemblage that inspired me:
Who needs orange when there is black and white?

Black and White? Those must be indie pumpkins shooting "Gourd With The Wind."
Is there basil with that tomato and mozz? ummmm...Caprese Sandwich....
Here in NC, they're turning Halloween into a month-long holiday like Christmas, but no one goes door-to-door for treats. Every group has a party, and the city has fireworks in the park on the 31st.
Which reminds me that I'd better stock up on delicious Necco wafers. They're only available in September and October, and only at our Redneck Walmart, not the Mexican Walmart, which is closer to me.
That's a very fine rose for fall (or spring either). The pumpkin on the right has green lips.
When the rivers freeze and summer ends...
And the smell of their roses does not remain...
I have bidden them welcome," said Pumpkin. His voice was not pleasant. Radish, suddenly, frightened, backed away. I think she suddenly realized, perhaps for the first time, explicitly, in her life, what a man such as Pumpkin, with his power, and his will, might do.
"You are welcome," said Pumpkin, turning to us.
"Thank you" I said.
"Tonight," said Pumpkin, "share our kettle."
"That is a Gorean invitation," I said. "Where did you hear it?"

Yeah, now that I'm a bona fide celebrity there's gonna be a few changes made.......
Althouse: Turbinado sugar?
So what does one do with 500,000 people told to leave the County?
Where do you stash them?
Maybe Houston will take them in. These San Diegans are accustomed to a higher standard of living, though. These aren't the low-class NOLA crowd who'll make do with crumbs.
Start puttin' on the Ritz for tony Southern Californians who won't accept anything less!!!!
We do have standards, you know.

Orange is popular in Ohio.
There's a more modest market in white.
What a dilemma! I have a policy of deleting everything tc writes, but that question: "What work do you do -other than ruining the whole world ?"
I'm trying to write a book, and I have writer's block, but that ... I want to write a book with that as a title!
What work do you do -other than ruining the whole world
I was always partial to ``Somebody Stold My Underwear,'' the cry of little brothers.
I would buy the tome:
"The Girth in the Balance"
Diet Tips from Albert Gore Jr.
Whenever the Flying CooCoo Birds attack that should be our coded catchphrase: "sigh...oh Ann. You're ruining the whole world."
tc, don't feel like you have to empty your mind at us. Keep a little for yourself.

My stab at your book title:
Two Words: How or Why Some Organization the Author Claims to Care Little For Despite Obsessing Over It In This Book Did Something That Should Get the Reader of This Title So Darn Riled That He or She Buys It
P.S.: Not that I have anything against your book, that is. (Heck, I don't even know what it's about.) I'm just riffing...
I love your pumpkins. How elegant! I can't wait for Fall. This weather is to hot for my taste.
