First Mobile Phone Virus
Sorry if you already read this, I had accidentally deleted it and needed to repost. New mobile phone virus has been found in Moscow. It targets bluetooth capable phones with the symbian opertaing system. The virus hops from phone to phone via bluetooth, so there is no need ot make a call. In a thick New York City or Tokyo crowd, it could spread like wildfire.

Here are some images I made of it. My images are better than their's. At least I think so.

Lunch with Mr. Garcia and Vistor Arrives
All of my entries are starting to get out of order because of my email outage this week. The email is finally back up but during that time, I had sent so many moblogs from my phone and they are all arriving now. This lunch actually happend on monday.

(e:chris) and I went out for lunch the other day at Jimmy Macs on elmwood. I had a really nice cranberry Vodka and a turkey burger. Mixed with the blue water on the table, the picture looks like some sort of overly nationalistic, american themed picnic.

Tommorrow, I will be going to Nonna's to do some gardening and then hanging out with Chris Albon for the afternoon as he is back in town for a visit.

Seafood Salad and Neighborhood Changes
We stopped at
what I consider to be the "new" tops of deleware and sheridan. It been
a while since I've been in the old neighborhood. Get this, Feel Rite is
gone. Hodown and I spent a long time working for them in the early to
mid 90s, I feel old now. See the pic, now there is just a Charter One
in its place. I think that was the only Health Food store where I've
bought acid. Crazy early 90s.

I also snagged a pic of my elementary school. While driving by I
realized I spent my entire life living only as far as one block from
elmwood. Lets just say it was the first "big street" I crossed as a
kid.

Stickboy [inlink]stickboy,88[/inlink], I am a mafia prince, if you watch my back too long they will find you, right (e:mike) hahaha. This leads me to a great war story from Nonna [inlink]paul,558[/inlink].

SET: WWII NEAR VENICE
She told me that one time during WWII in Italy, her brother was bombed in a nearby and broke his back. She and her family were farm people living in rural Italy.

After a long stay in a military hospital she had him brought home so that she could take him to a venician hospital that specialized in bonecare. After she got there, via a multitude of transit methods (the train tracks were bombed out and he was in an almost full body cast) she was told they couldn't take him. She was really angered, first of all, because she had the proper paperwork and secondly because she said he would die within a day or two if they didn't take him and she couldn't turn around cause it would be impossible to get back.

Then she remembered her brother was police man in that area before the war and knew the police there. So she called them and told them the situation. They instructed her tell the people at the hospital that if they did not take her brother immediately, they would come down with machine guns and promptly kill everyone.

Needless to say he was taken by the hospital and received great care. His other sister, stayed there near the hospital for two years and worked as a house servant in order to have a place to stay and to take care of him. Now that's dedication.

Cheapest Fucking Expensiveness
I went to see the outdoor movie downtown at Bacchus on Chippewa (Note: NOT MY NEIGHBORHOOD). Matthew, Rachel and I each got near 10 dollar glasses of wine. Mine was the Soave Classico Superiore at 9 dollars/glass in a super classy place. Here is the catch it comes in a plastic cup and its raining out. Also, the bar tender took ten minutes getting our change and then told us he didn't have enough, so come back later.
