it is why I will gladly work in town. Just like in bedford hills, when the crazy lady would stare me down by the fire hydrant. she would stalk me in her bike and at the same time every day meanwhile I would go into the hispanic deli and flirt with Jose. I used to think "one crazy person staring down another crazy person". She was crazy. but maybe she thought "that woman is crazy; just look at her." the ultimate misunderstanding. she thought why is that woman staring me down. every day a crazy woman stared me down. She rode her bike like a preschooler. (going nowhere; on a goddamned business day in bedford hills).
today the fire dept. took down the florence christmas wreath from the main light in town (there is one). it was a big event; a man with no teeth looked up and took notice. a woman looked up and then went into the post office. I looked up and wondered why four firemen needed to be just standing there. (I also wondered if any of them are cute) (and wondered if maybe I should become a firefighter). (probably a good way to meet guys).
