I stopped watching TV news about two years. I have no regrets. I did watch a few things like election night coverage and January 6th hearings. I can’t stand Trump and the media is addicted to him. I get news by reading newspaper sites like the New York Times and Washington Post,.

The two Gunning’s crab houses
The Instagram post below reminded me of the two Gunning’s restaurants, both long gone. There was the one in Brooklyn (the southern part of Baltimore). It wasn’t fancy but the crabs were great, Then there was the suburban one that, as a friend said, had the personality of an airport lounge. The food was good, though.

After the 1971 World Series
I was a freshman at the University of Pittsburgh when the Pirates won the 1971 World Series in October 1971. The game was on a Sunday afternoon. I lived on the 13th floor of a high-rise dorm which looked out over Forbes Avenue, a major Pittsburgh street. One of the guys had a tape recorder – the old kind about the size of a book with small reels – and hung it out the window. He could pick up the sounds from the packed street below. It was full of cars celebrating the big win. We heard that the Original Hot Dog Shop, the main place to get carry out beer nearby, ran out of beer. That’s hard to believe.
