This week was a wonderfuly week in Brooklyn. The weather was warm and sunny with a few showers during the week. Just what we love.
It looks like it will be a few more days until Valentyn gives birth. We are as ready as anyone could be. She has that radient pregnant look. The house is clean thanks to Tyke who cleaned hard during his stay a week ago. We got rid of a lot of junk and trimmed down the contents of the home.
For most people living in Brooklyn, we find ourselves at the center of the world. Some of the people think that the world revolves around us. Here are some of the things that happened here this week.

For most people living in Brooklyn, we find ourselves at the center of the world. Some of the people think that the world revolves around us. Here are some of the things that happened here this week.
Milk prices rose by nearly $1 per gallon. I guess it just costs more to get all the milk to us. Needless to say there were no raises given out at work this week to compensate for this increase. Actually most of us have not gotten any raises for years and whatever raises were seen we not enough to cover cost of living increases. Oh well, we are now a lot poorer than we were 4 years ago.
If that were not enough the NYC Transit wants more money from a raise in fares. This fare increase will make history if it happens. Never have they had two fare increases so close together.
People in Brooklyn are scratching their heads, wondering how on earth some people are getting really rich and others are getting really poor. Our papers published articles about the record setting profits of oil companies this week.
Ann Silverberg, who used to be the snake lady at the Coney Island Freak Show, has been working at the Grill House on the Boardwalk. If you want to find out what is happening, the Grill House is the place to be. Well, Ann decided that she no longer wanted to work there this week. The sun was to hot and she was just plain tired. So without any warning she just did not show up. Tommy, who also worked there but had to quit because he got bed bugs and his wife got mad at him and threw him out of his house so he could not get showered for work. Well Tommy might have come back to work, but no one actually could find him. So no one was there to clean the tables which made the regular customers a bit beyond themselves.
On Sunday a 10 year old girl drowned at bay 27. This was a horrible tradegy and word spread quickly. Duke the supervisor of the beach was worried about the impact that this would have on the parks department. It is not clear how this girl drowned, and they, to date, have not recovered the body. Those two factors have kept this event very much alive. People are wondering who to blame. The parents were not watching this child, she was swimming next to barrier rocks, the area was an unprotected part of the beach and it was after lifeguard hours. However there is speculation as to all these facts, so everyone is putting forth their own list of people to blame. People from Brooklyn always need to blame somebody for things that happen, hoping this blame might fix future events, which it rarely does. This is just the way it is in a city with 4 million people.
The fire works, which happen every Friday night have been really good this year. They have come up with some new ones that have brought cheers from the crowds of people who gather. Everyone is wondering who is paying for all these events, since the future of our amusement parks is uncertain and the owners are trying to get as much profit from their businesses before everything shuts down. None the less the show goes on.
Well, that is the News from Brooklyn, Where the Beaches and Ocean are clean, the People are abrasive, and the Cost of Living is below national average.
