DST

I’m bracing myself for next weekend – Daylight Savings Time, dontcha know? Yes, one week from today at this time, it won’t be this time. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAA.

Oh, God, I’m losing it.

I’ve been reading a book on my Kindle about the Collyer brothers in Harlem. They packed their house with trash and junk and probably some valuable stuff, too. Homer and Langley. They both died in 1947 – March, it was. This is what happened:For years Homer had been bed-bound, or more accurately, pallet-bound because he was severely rheumatic and blind. Langley took care of all his needs.

BUT, with all that junk in the house, there were only paths and tunnels, some of which were booby-trapped as security precautions. Langley accidentally tripped one and was crushed to death; Homer died of starvation on his pallet close by.

I don’t know the exact words, but the author said the family was a little odd.

Franz Lidz is the author of Ghosty Men: The Strange but True Story of the Collyer Brothers, New York’s Greatest Hoarders, An Urban Historical. It was a special deal yesterday and cost me a dollar, not the normal price of seven dollars, plus..

There is hope for me!!!!!! I can still walk through my house . . . well, I do have to climb in some rooms.
