Chow knows many pedestrians passing by him and the other protestors in front of the Citi branch are skeptical of their motives.
"Most of them think, you must want to get more money," he says.
"But that's not true."
The street protests, he vows, will continue.

Volevo parlare di S e F


Con F e S partiamo per il lago.
Nei fumi della memoria (ho la Ram molto selettiva) mi ricordo che nei fanghi invernali sulle rive dei laghi si celano gioielli.
Gobbetti, forse Persici.
F si presta spontaneamente a fare il fotoreporter.
S รจ armato con waders guadino. PZ lo seguiva col badile (non si sa mai).
Mentre F si trastulla va tra Facebook e poi foto S ha mostrato una grinta che mi ricordava quella dell'estate scorsa.
Il lago ora dorme.
Non si vede nulla.
Ma lui vedeva. Passione.
Lo raggiungo.
Eccolo il pesciolino morto (sembra un siluro neonato)
Eccolo il gambero vivo.
Eccolo a scavare in quello che reputavo improbabile pozza del Riale.
Eccolo che nel retino guizza una cosa di 4 cm (Lepomis Gibbossus o Perca Fluviatilis).
ALtro Gambero.
Altro pesce.

Ora la grande pesca nuota a Milano.
Chi fosse interessato a vederli contatti S.
