I feel kinda callow saying this, but the best quote of the day in my book is from the Puerto Rican retiree visiting his kids in Long Island over Thanksgiving who fell into a cesspool when a section of lawn gave way and on being rescued commented: “I was calm . . . If you panic, that shit will suck you right in.”
