A Beautiful Death


This image currently Tumbling about has always intrigued me. If it were a film, one would find it utterly absurd that someone could fall 86 stories and look so serene and beautiful.

Famous Hot Doggery

Since 1973, the griddled frankfurters at Gray’s Papaya, home of the $3.50 “Recession Special” (two franks and a 14-ounce drink), have been served with fresh fruit juices, tangy sauerkraut and a side of politics.
BTW, I particularly liked this quote in the story:
“I’m here for the hot dogs and the papaya drink,” said Mona Walsh, 54, in between the last couple of bites of her amply garnished frank. “Even if Gray’s Papaya were supporting the most deplorable candidate imaginable and there was a big sign about it out front, I’d still be here eating hot dogs.”
