Every time I think I've finished with these Sign Language posts, a half-dozen more signs appear to prove me wrong. Major thanks are due my fellow Yorkville residents who provide me with material on an almost continual basis. Who needs social media when windows, light poles, and other surfaces are available?
New York's governor isn't in the food business. But what he has done is force drinking establishments with outdoor seating to serve food. Our nearby beer shop/tasting room provides mixed nuts in Baggies, named in honor of the man who made it possible necessary by law. Makes you sorry he isn't named Scooby.
An Upper East Side dentist has this before-and-after display in his window. Aside from being a rather alarmingly bold claim, does it mean he uses the same saliva ejector on humans as he does dogs?
In these days of COVID-19, waiting rooms, like restaurants, have moved outdoors. But unless you're engaging in a particular sexual activity enjoyed by Trump voters, the phrase "Pet Parent" is right up there with professors claiming the word "looting" minimizes the political implications of what people are doing when they rob stores. In other words, oh please. You're a fucking dog owner. Deal with it.
Hey, if you can get away with looting as a political act, you tell me who's got privilege.
OK, let me get this straight. Are we supposed to feel empathy for a million-dollar model because the pandemic interrupted her cocaine deliveries? Or does she feel empathy for us because of we're the slobs who will never live in a West Village penthouse apartment overlooking the Hudson River? Bonus question: since when have any of those words in the poster been used to describe models?
The folks who live on one block of East 81st Street have been hanging homemade bird houses on the trees for many years. Everyone in the neighborhood got a kick out of them. Well, almost everybody, resulting in this unusual Wanted poster that went up last week. Someone with a grudge against birds? An art-hater? Let's take a look at the sign she left following her rampage:
In case you want to keep your sanity, what her manifesto comes down to is that she claims to love trees, but, in actuality, hates people. Or, to be less empathetic, this dame is ca-RAY-zee! I'm sure she'll find a friendly pet parent to commiserate with.

She correct about birds not needing houses. If they could not build nests, then maybe there's something o talk about. Twist ties are an abomination --untl we beed them.
Perhaps the woman's lack of neighborly connections and ability to persuade people to her point of view is the main problem here. There's a chance for making social connections regarding this topic. Of persuading the woman that working together to solve problems really does work.
Ive not seen the trees and birdhouses in question, but is sure seems ot me that a sniping civil neighborhood war could be avoided.
Of course, we have to have a sniper in chief, with issues, running things, so I don't hold out much hope for a halfway decent push for a civil society in the foreseeable future.
