Flogging Fish from the Curb

What is it with Marines and Yale grads? On encountering this category of persons, in my experience within minutes one learns either that Semper Fi reigns, or that an individual “went to school in New Haven.”

OK, fine. The guy who sold me 14 pieces of freeze-packed ahi tuna caught in Indonesian waters from his little pickup truck, right on the street outside my house, the Semper Fi guy, is forgiven. The tuna is superlative. And the ex-Marine is a hard-working flogger of frozen meat and fish, a facile talker with charm.

Right up until he said I reminded him of his mother. Surely he was too old to have a Mom my age... But I digress—perhaps this is the wave of the economically-challenging future. Guys, and gals, selling goods from their trucks, launching websites, sticking business cards in our doors, quoting their mothers, tossing in their Semper Fi-ness. Alluding to their Yale-ness. Whatever.

Bread—a decent multi-grain baguette, warm from the oven, leaning up against my door in the mornings, every day or so? I could go for that.

Half and half from cuddly, healthy, undrugged cows? Once every 2 weeks. Yep. Add it to my order.

I think there is a job or career out there for everyone to love if they only searched or could see it.

Some might already be in it and want to progress to the next level or new business venture or you are wondering will you ever find your ideal career and purpose in life…?

What a strange blog about ahi tuna and Marines.

I find it hard that Vodafone would be able to employ price plan linked traffic shaping/monitoring to detect VoIP use on mobile internet price plans. Unless someone sits there and manually analyses VoIP traffic usage against number's

Hey guys, this promo is nothing to do with this website. It sounds like a scam to me - stay clear!

But we have a national defense budget a zillion times larger than that of any other country, and, no surprise, schools sell candy to supply student basic school things.3
