Max Was Found and Is Back Home
Max, the golden doodle had been missing from his Brooklyn home for 10 days.
A Good Samaritan texted a picture of Max inside a Brooklyn Deli. (I saw who did it – good eye!!)
The owner went to the deli and the woman at the deli said the dog was hers. The owner left the deli and then went back in. As she was speaking to the woman, she saw Max. She called his name and Max ran to his mother!
Merry Christmas to Max and his family!

City Council Hearing – Anti Asian Rhetoric That No One Stopped or Spoke Out About
It’s sad to see that this rhetoric was allowed in NYC Council. This was said at the meeting for Intro 632 (to remove the right for NYC owners/landlords to do background checks)

Keith Powers said he was not present in the room.
I’m surprised that NYC Council representative in charge didn’t stop and speak out against this anti-Asian rhetoric.
How do Asians in NYC feel when they see officials in NYC allowed people to speak like this?

Crime in Bay Ridge Last Week
It’s been a better week.
The rates are still high (17.7% more crime this year than last year in the 68th Precinct — you can see that in the last column across from the word Total), but this week the numbers are little lower.
That’s a good sign.
