I attended the arguments — how often do you hear a case germane to the muni bond business argued there?? — and thought, as did the attorneys who sat around me did, that the Court would decide as they did.

But with the passing months, doubts started to creep in. The argument heard earlier in the morning session had been decided upon within a month; that means nothing, but that one seemed more complex than this one…… the decision, 7-2, means the market will not have a seismic upheaval. And likely this is not going to be brought up again for a long time……

Whew!!!!!

I trudged up an innumberable number of steps, while watching the ‘down’ esclator work, and went to the booth to ask why the attendant didn’t switch the good escalator. He glared at me and said it wasn’t his job. And when I asked if he had reported the malfunction, he turned off his microphone.

I gave him a friendly goodbye finger and walked off, steaming.

Unions and laziness = a recipe for the mess.

And as for Ian Fleming, the Bond creator, the NY Times has an article this morning about an exhibit at London’s War Musuem to honor the author’s centenary. That is worth going to London for!!!

They’re all making such a fuss about Shia LaBeouf, but we all know who’s the handsome one. At least I do. Eh?
