Today is when idiots call the zoo and ask for Mr. Wolf. Today is the day when one calls his wife from work and tells her that the train cut off his manhood and other silly things.
But being responsible and mature adults we don't do these things anymore. Or do we?
The joke is actually on me. I have such a cold that it speaks five languages.
I hate colds. I do get a flu shot every year but always manage to get a cold or two. It takes the strongest men off their feet and makes sniffing babies of them. And, there is nothing to do but wait it out.
I drink teas, I eat chicken soup and hope for the best.
???????????????????????????
Today was a very lovely day. Finally the sky cleared and the sun came out. It was warm and almost summery. And they swear that Easter Sunday will be just as nice if not nicer.
Remembering years past it is hard to remember when it was so nice on Easter Sunday.
Fortunately the Stock Market is closed tomorrow being Good Friday. Even though today and yesterday it was doing fairly well I feel much safer when it is closed.
One can't make any money but can't lose either.

I am not an economist (thank God) and I don't claim to understand how money works.
But I have an idea.
New Jersey Transit is a state run commuter transportation agency. It runs trains and buses, primarily to Manhattan.
Right now they are planning to increase their rates by as much as 25%. One of their complaint is that ridership fell a lot and they don't know how else to make up the shortfall. In addition they also plan to reduce the service.
Here is my suggestion.
Why not to drop their rates? Why not to have a sale like every business is having if they want to attract costumers? It cost almost the same to run empty trains as full trains.
If they would drop the monthly fares people might return and everybody would be happy again.
This theory could be applied to every governmental agency that complains that their revenue are not as good as it should be.
Why not to reduce the fees they are hoping to collect? Their attitude is that when participation dwindles increase taxes. Then participation will dwindle again and taxes will go up again. This is a vicious circle where we are the victims.
I can't believe that laws do not permit reduction of fares and fees in order to attract more participants.
It's a good thing that Macy's does not think that way. Business is slow, let's have a sale!
