To the pretty female clerk who spoke to me so nicely on Saturday: thanks. Your words made my day. Yes, I do walk around the city quite a bit. I do live in the Hydrostone. It was nice to not be bugged or hassled, something that has happened to me far too much on that street. Small gestures mean a lot to me. Thanks again. —mgp
