Horsefeathers
Today we went around to the various places to find door hardware. Unfortunately, no one had what we were looking for. I think it will require a blacksmith. Horse feathers over on Connecticut was the coldest fucking place I have ever shopped in. I am pretty sure it was warmer outside. I would never go back in the winter and I am sure I would never go back in the summer as it probably is too moldy and full of dog dander for me.

They have lots of stuff.





Looks like something e:mike would like.


And this cool window


Buffalo Reuse
Afterwards, we headed over to the ghetto to see if Buffalo Reuse had what we needed. They didn't either. The place was extremely disappointing to me. Same with the other time we visited over on Washington downtown before they over to North Hampton - which is an awesome street!!!



The prices were insane cheap but I would say 70% of the stuff was crap. There were some things that I couldn't believe anyone would bother reusing. They looked like crap from the get go. On the other hand, if you need a cheap door - it is the place to go. there were some doors as cheap as $10. also a place that requires hat, gloves, scarf as it is completely unheated.

I mean I think it is a good cause to keep stuff out of a landfill but I think they may need to re-evaluate what is salvageable. I know, everyone is going to hate me for saying this but I seriously think too much of it isn't going to go anywhere. maybe if they match up really poor people who need stuff with the crap that no one wants. I wish I took more pics so you could see but my fingers were too freezing after spending an hour at horsefeathers to press the camera button anymore.

The guy from Buffalo Reuse is supposed to come to our next block club meeting but I don't understand what they are going to say. Most of the stuff there was too craptastic for anyone to want in a fancy home and the people with fancy homes on our street are no looking to demolish so I am not quite sure it is a good match. Maybe if you need doorknobs, they have those.




On the way out of the East Side I spotted this nice house on North. I really liek this style house. I want to have one in the country someday.



Old Editions Book Shop
Then we headed over to old editions book shop in downtown Buffalo on Huron

This place was heated, unlike the other two shops, and had lots of great books and other collectibles. I think i could have bought a lot of things here if I had a lot of time and a library to fill. Or maybe if I read more or had interests outside of computing. Definitely worth the trip, I would go back.






They had some book on slang history where I learned the meaning of Queer Bitch


They had this fancy map that cost $4,000




Fianlly, I headed over to feelrite and the pet store on Delaware. They had this whole section of dog treats that were definitely marketed at humans. I mean I have seen dogs eat some nasty shit. I doubt they care if it has sprinkles on their sheep ear and eyeball goop crunchies.





I just wish somewhere had one of these horn chairs I really want.

I love purple rice now. I wasn't sure how it would be but it is delicious. I got it in a box at Feel Rite on Deleware in Nrth Buffalo. It tastes so good and it a combo of starchy an dcrunchy and is very, very purple.

Here I am eating it on one of my new spoons. I decided to get rid of the hodge podge of old silverware we had from the many lodgers and friends and start with one united set of really hefty stainless steel ones . They remind me of the ones I wrote about from Brodo a while back e:paul,37521

They also beat the aluminum foil grade metal ones we were previously using.


I also traded my plastic spatula for a metal one seeing as I got rid of the teflon pans I have no need for plastic cook ware anymore.

Seriously, my hair is insane. Today i was starting to think my beard might be too long but then at the same time, I want to just keep growing it because I know I won't want to start over and I want to see what it would look like really long.



As I get older I can see how I am going to end up looking a bit lot my nonna.

My friend Jesse in China sent me this email. If you are a stenographer this could be your dream come true. You can call him at the number on his site which is Phone: +86 138 1131 5130

I also have his email if anyone is interested.

Dear All, sorry about the mass email:

We need to find a stenographer for the Olympics (Beijing Olympic
Committee, the organization that administers the Olympic planning and
execution in Beijing).

The position starts now (now!), and will continue through the Olympics
(end of August).

1] The person would have to come to Beijing.

2] Airfare and housing are included.

3] The salary is 15000 RMB per day, that is more than $2000 per day,
continuing for 156 days.

Its a great deal, it's a great opportunity, the salary is many
times the US average yearly salary (the person could buy a new house
after the Olympics complete).

I am at the Beijing Olympics complex (in the media building), and so
am very close and could help with any problems, or interpreting, etc.

Pass this around, we need to find someone!

Best regards,
forrest fabian jesse

I have to say, I think she is unfairly treated by the media. I know you might hate her, or her policies but seriously she is constantly slammed by the media in little ways that add up.

She is not fat. But look at this picture at the top of google news. Its so messed up.



Or this one, where its all about Chelsea Clinton and the Clinton campaign but the pic is of Obama.
