I RECOMMEND that you visit someone who does.
MARK FRAUENFELDER, as all nine of you likely know, is the reason the entire, surprising, deranged, and beautiful E-HOBO project began.
HE IS A FRIEND, and a kind of visionary, and I say that even though I do not believe he has blood in his veins but PURE CURIOSITY.
That is all.

FROM THE COMMENTS, MORE INFORMATION on the mysterious WALTER.
COURTESY: the mysterious DON.
NOTE ALSO THE PHOTO, as that is indeed the room where I served. This article states that it is but a temporary exile for Walter while his true domain at 100 Centre St. is being renovated.
AND YET THIS ARTICLE APPEARED IN 2004.
That is all.

AS I WAS ESCAPING jury duty yesterday, I learned that the white-haired, sharp-tongued jury clerk quoted throughout this blog was, and is, named Walter.
IF YOU MEET HIM, do not cross him.
AND SAY HELLO.
That is all.
1969, DALLAS, TX: The first ATM machine is installed. Standing for “AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINE MACHINE,” the first ATM could receive deposits and dispense cash (though only in coins) and was roughly the size of a city block. Despite its name, it was not wholly automated: A single human controller was required to supervise and make manual notations in the customer’s bankbook. He would sit in a little dome atop the machine. However, this bank employee was instructed to wear a tinfoil suit and talk like a machine so as not to ruin the futuristic effect.
