	Update on crumbling structures in the city: two more this week, no 
injuries.  One at a school in Queens, one at some mini-storage place 
uptown.  The school was under renovation anyway, so it's not that much of 
a surprise.  Can't say anything about the mini-storage. 
 
	Strange occurances in the world at large -- a couple days ago 
(maybe yesterday) I saw some martial arts class practicing to taped sound 
effects in Cooper Square -- the little bit behind the statue.  I would've 
thought Thompkins Square or Washington Square parks, in addition to being 
more roomy and less surrounded by busy avenues, would have been more 
appropriate for the exercise.  Ah well.   
 
	And there was an appearance of a letter that I supposedly wrote to 
myself last year.  Sent from San Francisco.  Anybody know who I sent/gave 
that letter to originally?  I baffle myself sometimes.  It seems that the 
main theme of the letter is to CLEAN OUT everything.  Which I've done 
somewhat with the help of ma & stu. 
 
	Not much else.
