This halloween, the family down on Sussex Street had 175 pumpkins out.
Some were real, some plastic foam. They carve a bunch of real ones
every year, and if they are really popular they get a foam plastic
pumpkin and carve that the same, so they can keep it for future years.

We were walking down Swiss Street and Mo said "I want a beer" so I
popped into some stranger's garage and asked him if he had any beer.
He gave me a Modelo, which Mo likes. He saved my marriage. We made
some friends, which can be interesting in a super-tekkie neignborhood.
