I have a friend a few years older than I who was a member of the NYPD about fifty years ago. He has been in South Carolina for thirty or more years and has recently married for the fourth time and moved away so I don’t see him any more but he still sends me jokes and things by e-mail. He is amazingly blunt in speech, illogical at times, totally fearless, loyal to a fault and as honest as any person I have ever known. When the SHTF I want him with me.
Yes, it’s nice to know you have a good friend in a New Yorker. Since I hear so many negative things about my very annoying landsmen, it nice to hear something positive.
