Books and Whales

These news items from today are kinda of local interest.

First, the books. Amazon is opening a second bookshop in Manhattan. For all of you still missing B&N, who knows, one may be in our future, too, eventually....

And, as for the whales, there's this sad, and a bit unusual, story on Rockaway Beach today...

My friend says this is his second sighting of our local chicken, this time at Continental Ave. & Dartmouth. Perhaps he escaped from a KFC or Popeyes, the Queens Zoo, or one of those pots of chicken soup I always smell my neighbors cooking up? Boy, I am getting hungry again now. What's wrong with me?
