Mail Call

I joined the "William Shatner DVD Club" which was the only piece of mail we got yesterday ("A new Sci-Fi, Horror, or Fantasy DVD Every Month!"). Oh the horror! I put on the "Wolves of Wall Street", (just got a DVD player/recorder from IchibanPC in Las Vegas, NV for $40, free shipping for Christmas, a NEC OEM) instead of "Ginger Snaps" (which, I read is from the same Montreal director that had Rutger Hauer in "Hemoglobin" renamed since, on Grand Manan Island, NB, Canada at the Swallowtail Lighthouse, now a "bed and breakfast" since automation and new technology, the best GPS was installed in the Bay of Fundy I followed though a dramatic light, nonetheless.) The hero in "Wolves of Wall Street" (with Julia Roberts brother, Eric Roberts as the Michael Douglas devil-like, but more reality based, "Wall Street") travels to NYC to be a broker and goes into my former employer's building to meet Louise Lasser, the landlady, which has two entrances, 40 Exchange Place or 25(?) William Street! (Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman!) Very strange. Spike Lee and Denzel Washington were last seen there too when I was working there at the beginning of Fall end of summer. Interesting film, the bad brokers are also "werewolves"! Lots of local "color" Trinity Church is no longer "black" after 9/11/01 cleaned to its original brown, where the Queen used to exchange a number of peppercorns for it every year. Trinity Church was one of the first in wide-scale unemployment (pre-Martin Scorcese's 2002, "Gangs of New York" current crime rate down for the 17th year) to establish a "mission" in the Bowery, once NYC's "Broadway", (where I've done research) Raoul Walsh's "Regeneration" the first gangster film, was made there, 1915. Peter Bogdonavich was just talking about him, directing "White Heat" with James Cagney on Turner Movie Classics "Essentials" I think used to call him Pablo? I think this season the Post Office really got tied up, so it seems, from the feedback (or lack thereof) from Registered Mail and EZ-Pass we've gotten here at 1918 Holland, in the Bronx (named after Swedes not wanted in New Amsterdam the Broncks, like Hendricks, and other -icks they sometimes turn into -x). I worked on the archaeology of a sharecropper site outside Tennessee Williams' Columbus, Mississippi that was the childhood home of "Honeybee Hendrix" of West Point, Mississippi, at the Waverly Plantation Ferry Access site in the way of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Barge Canal, chosen by the US Congress over a NYC "Energy Island". Tombigbee River runs from NE Mississippi into Alabama and into Mobile Bay on the Gulf of Mexico. It's northern end was connected with the Tennessee River, which can connect with the Ohio, and I dare say if you follow the "drinking gourd", one gourd became the "banjo", you might even end up in Canada.
