A parting gift from Toz

Sounds like a heckuva party - I hope Toz knew his efforts were appreciated.

Same warming, different globe

Darn! Al Gore was hoping he could move to another planet to escape this confounded global warming!!

Now, 'fess up, which one of you had the nerve to drive the gas-guzzler Excursion on Mars?

Rest, peacefully....

Milton Friedman has died.

During his long lifetime he saw so much change in the world, but remained consistent in his vision of a dynamic economy, able to grow unfettered by government intervention. The influential free market economist and Nobel Prize winner should get a tenth of the recognition and accolades from his alma mater that their most favorite communist does.

Sadly, he will not get even that.

Rutgers Notes...

Wow - this is not just like old times. As an undergrad during the Burns/Anderson era , we never saw the level of football excitement we're seeing this week. We also did not see so many tall buildings and fancy coffee shops on the banks. What we DID see was this:



Greasy Tony's was a New Brunswick institution, known for it's architecture (used to be a Carrol's hamburger stand, as was the Grande Pizzarama on 18 South, near the Drive-In, but I digress), late night hours and wide ranging menu, all of it greasy and good. Most of that block was demolished a number of years back to build a great big building for the university - nothing to compare to Greasy Tony's has been seen in the Hub City, since.

Tony relocated to Arizona.

By the way, the building next door to GT's, the Brunswick Pub, was owned by the brother of the owner of the North Brunswick Pub, and was the first local place I got served. In case you were wondering.

The Greasy Tony's picture above was forwarded to me a number of years back...I think they came from Dave? New Brunswick Greasy Tony Pics are hard to come by, though I found these two after a short search:
