  1. Hi everyone

    Just voted for the great as usual articles.

    Oh, I just saw that me and RMJ both popped up on DV at the same time.

    Bedtime for me sorry.

  3. Hi Andy...I am on my way to your article right now.

    Thanks Mickey, but I did NOT write that article. Must be a snafu. Good article. The real author - whoever that is, deserves credit. I don’t know how my name was put there. The article that I DID write is getting a lot of comments. I knew it would. Kind of struck a nerve. Here is the link.

  4. It’s a shame that the comments section at DV has been highjacked by 4-5 usual suspects.

  5. Mickey...would that explain how my name was credited with the article that I didn’t write???

    I voted for your article, Mickey. Yes, I agree. It reminded me though of the fact that in many neighborhoods clothes lines are illegal. My side of the street, they are allowed. Across the street they are not. Does not make sense but that is what happens when restrictions are written in deeds.

  6. RMJ: I think it was likely an innocent mix-up. Did you contact the editors?

    What I was referring to is the fact that every article on DV is followed by a long thread of comments by 4-5 people who say essentially the same thing no matter what the article is about.

  7. And thanks to everyone who voted. It makes difference for me so I appreciate it.

  8. Great photo of Central Park, Mickey!  And the rest of the post is not bad either, needless to say. 

    I should hang my head in shame because I have not voted on any articles yet, but promise I shall do so once I come back from Melbourne early next week. 

    Hello, Andy and Rosemarie.  Have a good weekend, all of you.

    All best,
    Helga

  11. I’m a big staycation guy. Not only that, Shanghai has a large network of old water towns and lakes and tourist areas around it that are all linked up by train or bus.

    There is a special tourist bus station by the main stadium where they all leave from the same place.

    You get there and don’t have to navigate parking etc. You just get dropped off and come back to the stop to go home, they send the buses out every hour or so.

  12. Today should be an excellent day for Central Park: over 70 degrees and leaves are just starting to change. I walked through a virtually empty Central Park early yesterday morning and the birds were chirping a symphony.
