Geez, I’m game to transcribe it but you’d better call me a transcriptionist first because a transcriber is the machine that sits on your desk and uses those cassette tapes.

Sorry, I missed the dog-peeing incident. But as Mario might say, what are doing wearing a suit in this neighborhood?!

I also would like to say that yesterday I encountered real tourists in BoCoCa, carrying a map and everything. They asked me where they should go, and I sent them to Smith Street.

BTW, did you see the jerk who let his dog urinated on my garbage cans this morning? The guy claimed his attention was diverted so he really couldn’t see when he was staring right at him.

So what do I do? Drag in my cans and hope one doesn’t bump against my suit pants and ruin them?

Personally, I know a lot of people love dogs, but the smell of urine saturated concrete on a hot day around her makes me want to gag.

This is not the neighborhood to have a dog in. Dogs are great on farms, when fishing and hunting, for blind folks and sniffing out bodies under rubble.

If you want company, be friendly and talk to the people around you.

I think Gaetano from around the block has some more unique insights on this…maybe we’ll do an “Ask Gaetano” instead of an “Ask Mario” next week.

…hmm…but as you heard in the podcast, Mario always demands a piece of the action for anything that goes down on his turf, but he can be bargained down at times. I know his roof took some damage in the recent rainstorm, and I may be able to trade repair consultation/services for a better revenue split on the T-shirts?

Maybe it can have his picture on the front and a list of our top 10 things for newcomers to know. Any other artisti (which I am not) want to chime in on possible themes? Perhaps we could expand this to a line of clothes with embedded mp3 players and Mario-onic wisdom for all occasions….
