I CALLED UBER….for a car……….

AND………..this monster LIMO showed up………and I only wanted to go 10 blocks.

I asked if the price was the same….$15……and the driver said yes!

But….I did NOT take it.  What would my doorman think if I pulled up in this white chariot!  GROSS ME OUT!

SIGN in CHELSEA on 9th Ave

J.K.Rowling’s Yacht is FOR SALE

The asking price is $19.2 million………but if you’re short on pocket change you can rent it for $136,000 a week.

It has four bedroom and sleeps 10 people.

She bought it from Johnny Depp [maybe he will buy it back].

It does not have a heliport so you can not arrive in your helicopter.

 It also does NOT have a pool.

TRIPPING OUT on a NYC BUS

Any trip on a NYC BUS is a fun trip.  New Yorkers do it.  Tourists do it.  And we all love it.

CLICK ON your kind of trip.

Sitting in a Cafe in the SUBWAY

The TURNSTYLE is a new passageway in the Columbus Circle Subway…….with a very contemporary collections of shops and cafes.

CASA TOSCANA is one that I particularly like.

Four tiny tables…………all with table service.  So civilized.

I made a ONE MINUTE video of all the people who did NOT stop for coffee!

 

 

 

CHILDHOOD MEMORY……the Goat Man

His name was Charlie McCartney.………….and he loved all thirty of his goats……..though at one time there were as many as 100 goats pulling his 2 wagons.

The “great depression” took his farm in Iowa…….and he started walking……….to GEORGIA.  Goats eat about 4 pounds of alfalfa every day………now I am wondering how and what did Charlie feed his goats.

Charley was a preacher………and to feed his goats he sold Bible tracts to people along the way.  He collected old pots and pans abandoned along the road side……….which he sold to anyone who would buy.

As he neared a town…….the word would spread…….”THE GOATMAN IS COMING”.

When he got to Clarkesville Georgia………..my Uncle Sam would drive me into town to see Charlie so I could pet his goats.

The smell was terrible……..Charlie and the goats both needed a bath!

Uncle Sam’s old Studebaker truck which was always conking out…………but he loved his truck!

When Charlie finally “gave up the goats”……..he settled down  in Georgia and lived in an old decrepit bus.  Eventually he had to move into a nursing home in Macon Georgia.  He died there at age 103………but he had traveled the roads with his goats for over fifty years.
