Numbers abound during these long
summer months, beginning with those back-to-back 31-day Caesarsian
monster months of Julius and Augustus. And the numbers continue to
cascade like moisture rivulets on a cold glass. Not just
any numbers, either - we're talking meaningful
numbers:

beach with the motor.
Witnesses describe the suspect as a white
male, 18-22 years old, black shoulder length hair, 5'7" to 5'8" tall, medium build.

Enjoy safe boating: The
renovated boat ramps at 123rd and 100th  Avenues are temporarily open again,
which reminds us of the time a few years back when our
friend Jimmy called to say his van had accidentally slid
into the water while launching his boat. "How high is
the water?" we asked. "Oh, about van high," he replied.
The boat ramp at 84th Avenue is closed for few weeks for
renovations (Jimmy had nothing to do with this) ...
