I never did sofa analysis and flunked the course but aced the lab so I just had to take the lecture portion over again. Perhaps when you all finish this blog installment, some might support the notion of my investigating some form of analysis. Well, I\u2019m not inclined to do so.

My favorite never had teacher from Little Rascals<\/p><\/div>\n<p>And the blog title; \u2018Dumplings with Tuna Salad Filler.\u2019 Well it\u2019s nothing more than streams of consciousness bordering on my favorite pastime; dwelling on absurdities of modern life. I used to eat tuna salad four times a week; now a couple of times per month. I hate mercury sloshing around my colon and getting absorbed. By the way zinc and calcium (600mg) supplements are good for the old colon (24% reduction in colon cancer? Perhaps). Atlantic Blue Fin tuna are almost extinct. Japan loves raw tuna for sushi so they keep over fishing. On New Year\u2019s Eve my gang ordered dumplings in the small neighborhood Chinese restaurant we frequent. I passed on the doughy confection; it\u2019s stuffed with meat and I stopped eating red meat in 1975. Truth is told; my stopping red meat back then was because of a six foot tall (I\u2019m 6\u2019 5 \u00bd\u201d) blonde blue-eyed girl from Short Hills. Two dates and I moved on to less imposing un-chilly granite statues but stayed true to all the tenets of not eating red meat. However, guess what. I\u2019ve been a flexitarian all these years. Flexitarianism means that you are an omnivore who predominantly eats a plant based diet but also eats animal meat occasionally. That\u2019s me, Miss Crabtree. I do eat some chicken and turkey just no red meat.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2088\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.vichywater.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/calvin-coolidge_114099t.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2088\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2088\" title=\"calvin-coolidge_114099t\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vichywater.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/calvin-coolidge_114099t.jpg\" alt=\"Rutgers\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.vichywater.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/calvin-coolidge_114099t.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.vichywater.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/calvin-coolidge_114099t-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2088\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">President Calvin Coolidge.

Maybe he wasn\u2019t that silent after all) \u00a0Back when I was studying Pharmaceutical Analysis, an acquaintance got his girlfriend pregnant and he had to get her one of those back alley illegal abortions and she almost died.

No one is changing the accelerating world; it\u2019s just not going to happen; makes me want to go to Louis\u2019 in the Bronx for the best veal in the city. But I don\u2019t eat veal.

The climate is so messed up. Global warning warming is so real. I wonder when people board an airplane and sense something but never get off the plane because there\u2019s nothing you can do about it. Fossil fuels are a great earth epitaph; so is its merchandising corporate world. Politicians know there is nothing you can do anymore. So they all jump in bed with the big guys, get elected, make a few speeches and juggle a few congressional cosmetic bills. Make the patient comfortable in hospice or assisted living. I wonder who wrote the book of love and if all prisoners in our over-crowded jails are going to be released as a humanitarian gesture a few weeks before Thanksgiving. I call the world\u2019s inability to agree on the Kyoto Protocol the new \u2018Tower of Babble.\u2019 Ah fossil fuels. Canada walked away from the Kyoto Protocol because of all their oil which is stuck in tar sands. You need a lot of resources, water and pipe lines to work it right.

I can\u2019t stop eating chocolate and we can\u2019t stop environmental degradation and hatred. Darfur is what I think about subliminally in my blogs. Go back in time and look. Back last May, my psychic friend Ruth from Seattle called and warned me about New Jersey feeling an earthquake.

I walked from 33<sup>rd<\/sup> Street where several thousand Rutgers loyalists gathered at Legends bar for tailgating (me too); then slowly uptown, absorbing New York City on Christmas week. It was bumper to bumper people and quintessentially magically electric. I was on 34<sup>th<\/sup> Street, where a movie miracle occurred with little Natalie Wood (they\u2019ve re-opened her death inquiry. How strange) standing in front of Macy\u2019s holiday window. That\u2019s worth a pinch on the left arm. A few blocks away, I saw Sponge Bob, Pooh and the Grinch, live and in colorful costume posing for pictures, each with a bag for tips. A women with child from out of town asked \u201cwho are they posing for?\u201d I said, \u201cThis is New York City. It\u2019s for themselves.\u201d She laughed. I made an out-of-towner laugh.

It was their first trip ever to New York City and it was delightful talking to them. I love that bridging of New York subways of Madison Avenue county stuff. Finally, I described New York City to them my way. If the world pooled all the concrete, steel and glass together, found an island somewhere warmer and higher up from the coast and decided to build a bigger and better duplicate of New York, they couldn\u2019t. Simply, there is nothing like this city anywhere in the universe and non-duplicitous. They agreed and were wonderfully congenial and warm. I thought to myself, welcome to mid-America ideals and values. They loved St. Patrick\u2019s Cathedral. So do I. We shook hands as the subway doors opened and wished each other a happy healthy New Year. I whispered the plural, New Years. And that\u2019s what I\u2019m wishing you all right now.
