Small motor assisted bicycles
A hundred feet from my front door a rider of one of these was struck by a car and I saw the police and EMS response. Later I saw a few more of these bicycles. They don't have license plates. At this point I don't know if they are required. However, I saw that the riders in the street simply aren't aware of the cars around them and how slow they are travelling relative to the other traffic. I prayed for the person on the ambulance gurney. Maybe I haven't been paying attention but they just seemed to have appeared in September in Queens.

Vince of the Shamwow Commericals as you have never seen him before
I would think that if he had all that money from television, he would be able to afford a better relationship that this.

In our celebrity culture, I wonder if this help Vince Shlomi and Sasha Harris achieve some great fame.

Observations
Excitement over the guilty plea of Bernard Madoff and his immediate remand to prison
Looks like the third day of a bear recovery or minor bull market.
I left my office exactly three times. On each excursion (11am coffee, library, and lunch) I saw a different set of adult twins. I wonder if there was an event to gather twins together in the financial district.
