Joe Ades, the potato peeler, has passed away at 75

I just heard the news. i don’t know what it was, but it was always just fun to watch this guy demonstrate his potato (or carrot) peelers on the corner of the street (or where ever he chose to set up shop). i’m glad to have bought one :) here’s a video i took of him doing his thing.
