If Brooklyn's seemed a little less bubbly than usual lately, we may have tracked down the culprit—Ronny the Seltzer Man is down! Ronny Beberman, the last seltzer man driving a "real seltzer truck," has been out of commission since last Tuesday after falling from his truck, suffering a bloody head gash and breaking several bones. The Times quotes a legendary seltzer man who once said, "I can’t stop these dreams — I keep seeing all the people I missed on the route."

I always felt sorry for the seltzer man. Growing up in the Bronx we used to get a case delivered every few weeks and he had to hump it up 3 flights and then carry down a case of empties. I remember the guy coming into our building with a case on each shoulder so he could deliver to 2 apartments on the same trip.

Ronnie is a wonderful person. We love and admire him, and sincerely hope he gets well soon.
