After a long weekend in Connecticut enjoying the Fall foliage, I took the train to Grand Central Station.  Had lunch with a friend, then went to Wall Street to see if I could take a look behind the curtain or at least catch a glimpse of Paulson, but no such luck.  At least I was able to demonstrate good form for other visitors and locals alike on how to ride a bull, either by grabbing the horns while seated or showing off and riding standing up.  Yahoo!  Unfortunately most people opted to just stand by and look in wonder, or even worse, they crawled around to the back end!  There were even guys kissing the unmentionables…  What’s up with that?!  Is there anyone here who doesn’t yet know how to ride a bull?

Incidentally, the stock exchange has been closed to the public since 9-11.  Now they’re installing fancy rotating blockades in the streets around the exchange, to thwart would-be truck bombers.

Staying with Russian friends out near Coney Island tonight, then heading to England tomorrow.
