COnfessions of a MAD Antique Dealer

To day the crickets were having a convention in the trees. They were having  a concert of somekind...Very loung and continuous. I was really worried that they new something that we humans didnt... You know, they do know the tempature..and their kvetiching can be counted and you can get the exact temperature.. ANyway, I was afraid they  knew a great storm, or tidal wave or volcano was coming....They say animals and insects know these things psychically.  ANy way, the finally went to sleep....hey, I fI was rubbing one leg against  my other for ten hours, hard enough to make sounds. I would be frigging exhausted too.

I think today is part of the nine days of TISH-A_BOV, a Jewish Holiday, I belive that is a rememberance of the destruction of the first temple.... ANd this week I had many ORthodox and Hassidic Customers.... MY LUCK...because during the nine days of Tishabov, they arent supposed to make any big purchases.  SO I ask myself, why did they come looking. Isnt looking as bad as buying. Its intention. When I put adsvertisng in the Jewish Newspapersa and magazines, did they say...OH dont advertise for these two issues....Its TISHABOV...oh no, they kept it a secret from me...(I am not relgious)  and its very nice that they remmebr the destruction of the Temple, but after 2000 years, isnt 9 days a bit excessive?  I guess back then, they didnt have furniture stores to close. Food of course can be purchased, and restarants are open. I wonder if the nail salons and hairdressers are open...and the Clothing stores.... I just wonder.

I got an email from a friend. It was a joke, that Bush said he is going to converted to Judaism.   He got an immediate one million volunteers to be his moyhel.

For the non Kosher, or Jewish friends out there, here is a VERY Unkosher recipe:Take a fillet of port, make many holes in it with a fork, and the with a knife put kriss cross diamond cuts in the top. Make a paste of crisco, fresh garlic, salt, pepper and one or two table spoons of caraway seeds. Rub the paste into the port. Cook at 400 degrees for an  hour to hour and half(use a meat thermometer-must be white all thru)  You can use this same paste on chicken or roast beef.  ANd now I go to sleep.
