Well, since we are relegated to the "roll" of great aunt, let's talk about
those bagels...
You don't want any signs pointing the way to bagels, as noted in today's
Wall Street Journal (Jan 22, 2004). You could get arrested for having such
signs, at least in Redmond, WA. Seems the bagel shop committed the horrible
felony of having an employee stand out in front wearing a sign pointing the
way to the shop, which is located on a side street and hard to find. WSJ
dryly pointed out that America has finally become a place where Larry
Flynt's porno magazines have more constitutional protection to free speech
than a guy who just wants to sell bagels.
I suppose next I will be arrested on the streets of Redmond for wearing my
ball cap that says "Waddling Eagle, World Famous CFI" on it, or maybe for
wearing a shirt with a Cessna logo. Of course, Redmond is the city that
bills itself "The Bicycle Capital of the World" and bans bicycles from
nearly all of its parks and watershed areas. It is the sort of town that
would build an airport just so they could ban airplanes from using it.
