It appears that Alvaro's at Green and Peffer is back in business after having suffered storm damage. The chairs and tables are back out on the sidewalk, at least . . . Had a nice visit from Jim Akers this afternoon . . . My hospital procedure is scheduled for tomorrow morning at nine ("be here by seven a.m."). If all goes smoothly we should be able to open the store around noon . . . Her Highness Miss Linda has given her Shipoke subjects an ultimatum: Get the flood-damaged trash off your property or face a fine of $1000 or so. God forbid that she should ask the victims of this tragedy just what help the city might give them. But even more curious: there are similar piles of trash in the uptown area along several streets. Will these people also be fined? Someone wrote on PennLive that this is a racist edict and I must admit that it would seem so. Stay tuned . . . This set of nesting boxes with a leaf motif is really quite handsome. Someone will take it home for $23.50 . . .
