John Savage. Born in Old Bethpage, LI, recently on CBS’s “Seal Team.” About NYC: “My prayers today are for Elmhurst, where I grew up with guys who became NYPD officers.”
About USA: “This great country, world leader, must deal with the unknown best we can.” About LA: “Some are ignoring the laws. My Malibu house burned down in the fire, and nobody’s walking around in California. Kids drive 100 mph on the highway because nobody’s on it. Horrible accidents. We must respect laws now more than ever.”
His Sam Jackson, Ed Harris, William Hurt, Peter Fonda film, “The Last Full Measure,” about Vietnam vets, came out in January. “I shared my personal feelings in the character. Hundreds were killed. Survivors lived because two helicopters went the wrong way.”
Polio as a kid, knowing from adversity, into social causes. Savage knew Nelson Mandela and says: “Mandela would say he loves us, and please stay at home. God bless us all, sacrifices to make, but call someone, write a letter, get on your computer. We can do it together. We’ll get through this.”
Please … pay attention
Even if Tevye’s “If I were a rich man . . .” came to be, like all of us, he’d still be isolated in his house. Me, marooned 3 ¹/₂ weeks, my left hand now boasts only one long, solitary remaining middle nail. It juts out like a spear. I harpoon dinner …
From one shut-in lonely divorcee: “No matter how great the guy is, you can’t have sex 6 feet apart. So, shorten the distance.” Her problem? No batteries. She says: “How do you throw out a vibrator so the trash man doesn’t see it?”…
Live-in housekeepers now don’t. Tired of Monopoly with his kid, an executive who manufactures industrial machines, found he’s light on washing machines. After throwing blue shirts in with white ones, he now has multicolored Polo tees …
There’s the lady who discarded “an old rusted toilet brush.” Put the thing out to be removed. In a box. Next day, the box was empty. Stolen was the old rusted toilet brush …
Nazalene, my Guyanese housekeeper of 23 years, doesn’t know from tuna-on-white. Her snacks are pita roti, coconut rice, boiled plantain, fried chickpeas and curried goat. I’d break into Rikers if I could get PB&J …
My new glass-topped electric stove — with imprinted “bridge” and “boost” signs and its own pots — is complex. So I used the microwave to hard-boil an egg. The thing exploded all over the kitchen. Who knew you also had to stick it in water? …
One lady’s doing jigsaw puzzles. One’s hunting paper napkins. A friend self-medicated her dog. Whatever she used, the poor Lab fell over like a scarf.
Holy restrictions
Saudi Arabia. More than 2,000 infections, 34 deaths, the most in the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council. A 24-hour curfew in holy cities Mecca and Medina. Most Gulf Arab states locked down districts with large migrant worker populations.
Majority of public places closed. Movements heavily restricted. Exceptions include essential workers and residents buying food and accessing medical care. Cars may carry only one passenger. International flights halted.
One messy test
I received the following. I’ve nothing to do with it, so don’t pick on me. I’m just a reporter reporting it:
“URGENT NOTICE. Coronavirus update. Everyone must be tested ASAP. New testing methods being done without leaving your home. All you need to do is mail a stool sample to:
Nancy Pelosi
1236 Longworth H.O.B.
Washington, DC, 20125
Like I said, don’t pick on me.
