In outrageous news, my friend Peter's family members survived a small plane crash in the Bahamas. He reports: "I just got word from my brother Tim in the Bahamas that brother James and his family survived a plane crash as they were flying in. Sounded pretty hairy. One person died. Luckily, James (age 60!) is a serious mountain biker and in great shape and his son-in-law is a fireman; two guys you want on your team if your plane is going to crash in 6,500 feet of water.... My brother's wife, daughter, and 18-month-old granddaughter were also on board. Whew!"
But the biggest news event that I have missed is the protest scene in my home town, New York, N.Y. "So, Missourians want to know if you are going to take a picture of a New York license plate with a piece of tape across it and explain how ashamed you are to be a New Yorker," writes one Missouri friend, apparently piqued by a previous blog. Another, also somewhat miffed, writes"Guess NYC can join the club, "BREATHE IN NYC" and "SHOT ME STATE, MO". Got tape on your NY license plate? It's mid 60's all over again." So sorry guys. Thought I made it clear in previous blog that all humans are guilty of being tribal. Me and New Yorkers too. Let's work against it.
