I was shocked to read that the Armory Art show scheduled to be held at Pier 92 in New York beginning March 7th has been relocated to alternative Piers as a result of a city inspection revealing the Pier is structurally unsafe. Pier 92 was the site for the 143rd Westminster Kennel Club breed judging just a couple of weeks ago. The parking facility on the roof of Pier 92 was closed during Westminster due to the structure’s instability. It seems now that city officials have declared the entire structure to be unsafe, not just the parking structure. It makes one wonder if this will affect next year’s Westminster breed judging?

Maybe you’ve had an experience like this: I recently walked into a brokerage firm, asking for help with a transaction. I didn’t have an account and wanted to open one in order to sell some stock I hold in certificate form. The receptionist went to talk with a man in a glass-walled office and came back, telling me that they couldn’t help me and to have a nice day. When I asked questions about how best to sell the stock, she suggested calling the transfer agent. I had already done that – they sent me to the brokerage firm. She said sorry – they couldn’t help me. Goodbye.
