Grate Thought

Ok so I know by now you must be thinking, "Brian is one of the
greatest thinkers and writers of our time.".

Why, thanks. That means a lot coming from such a well-known
literary critic.

With that being said, I couldn't help but think how many things are
dropped through these types of grates in cities. I thought that as my
hands suddenly became sweaty while walking over this grate. But think
about it......phones, iPods, wallets and other valuable things like
toothpicks and safety pins must routinely fall through these on a
daily basis.

And what happens to them? Do city workers do the right thing and
find the rightful owner?

I'm sure they do

On a related note, how does one "mark" sarcasm when writing?

Oh, update on the trip.....just hopped on the 1 train and heading to
ground zero then maybe the Staten Island ferry. We are scrimmaging
Bishop England in the Garden at 2.
