Liberty (name change)

When did it happen? This Liberty Plaza, where I spent so much time following 9/11 is going now by Zucotti. (which rhymes with manicotti) Park. The settlement now provides for an entertaining visit. On a first trip to a local fair everything seems genuine. Probably at the second visit...the fake, the commercialized...Tents and peddlers, tourists, signs and  one flag, a young lady trying to quietly read a hard cover book. Happy anarchy and food stands.Bored policemen. Cameras and tourists. Failed politicians, would be politicians, extremist politicians, actual politicians (whatever that means). CircUSA.  Yes, a country fair.  A petting zoo minus the farm animals.....

Zucotti's Sam's Falafel

Visiting the occupied wall street, decided to profit and have a falafel at Sam's. I always get one when I am on Liberty St. The end of the line was imprecise. Asked politely a young guy  "Are you on line?".  Turned  angrily at me.  Like what? Was I questioning his right to be there? Was he a wall streeter? or an occupier?  Not sure.

no taker for Nabucco

Offered around a free ticket for Nabuco. No taker. Was it me? Verdi? Nebuchadnezzar?
 Or maybe it was a day of the Qaddafi cadaver and saturation with middle east intrigues....
