Walk in the Street

This reminds me that I really need to wash
my windows.  Fortunately, I can do it myself
the old-fashioned way—no hydraulics required
(like here, at the Richard Meier building next door).

got knives?



When I was a kid (waaay back in the mid-20th
century), there was a guy who came around our
neighborhood in a truck just like this one, and
all the moms would go out with their knives and
scissors to get them sharpened. I really thought
this kind of business no longer existed anywhere
in NYC—but apparently I was wrong! 
 Is there anything like this where you are?
