Some heroes: Diogenes, Khayyam, Lear, GMH, Joyce, F. O'Brian, F. O'Conner, Nancarrow, R. Gibson, Mingus, O. Coleman, Pynchon, Wertmüller, Prine, Kina S.
Decided, while avoiding all current news (go ahead, call me squeamish), I should delve into a subject about which I know little.
To begin, I love the idea of an eminent historian managing to write a very short book (150 pages) on a subject as vast as World War I. What discipline!
For some reason, the 4.5 minute opening of Lina Wertmüller's film, Seven Beauties (1975), seems appropriate today. (Caution: War footage)

Thank you, _The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld_ for getting me through that dental extraction (with help from novocaine and nitrous oxide)! So many diverting tracks on that double album!
Will be calling upon you again when the implant rolls around. <3
@JeffSharlet Mr. Sharlet: loved your most recent book and am anxious to know what might be stirred on the right by a Harris win -- whether narrow or overwhelming. Have you written anything lately describing what you expect after Nov 5th that I might read?
Dreamt I was walking with a pleasant man who was driving sentient rutabagas to market over cobblestone streets with the help of a bamboo staff. The swedes were huge -- the diameter of a hay roll -- but largely cooperative.
@kirawontmiss Argiope aurantia is a beautiful and fascinating spider! Got to spend a whole summer watching one through my office window.
She was so exhausted after secreting her brood into their egg sack, I brought her crickets from the bait store.
