Third Avenue Bus Stop

Our National Debt moves relentlessly upward night and day on 14th Street corner of Park Avenue and at the Treasury Department. I wonder, can a country declare bankruptcy?

Evening

6:30-8 p.m


I joined another Zoom virtual session with my Zendo for the "Wisdom Sangha" and all went well enough. However the Gift cell phone, run by AT&T informed me I am running out of Data Space. I can't fix it since I do no financial transactions on line, but my Sensei agreed to meet me (properly protected and appropriately distancing) at the actual Zendo Sunday to sort it out so I might continue to participate. All's well Friends.
