Orange pepper-spray, Black Friday, Christmas just around the corner of time. What a world. Meanwhile, another excellent day in and around Saxapahaw capped off by Mongol (2007), an absorbing flick I'll post about soon, if all goes as planned.
Has everyone gotten a chance to see the "pepper-spray cop meme" galloping around the globe quicker than a Mongol messenger (such as the example above)? Love it.
A lot going on here, there, in Egypt and everywhere. I spent $5 on a book about Ben Franklin and his correspondents that looks pretty cool, and certainly of continued relevence, given Franklin's defense of human rights, evolving opposition to slavery, mentorship of free libraries, stewardship of the postal system and championship of free speech, freedom of assembly and civil society in general, all while remembering to have an electrifyingly good time while he was at it. To all that and more -- cheers!

I saw where a woman pepper sprayed some other shoppers. I couldn't stop laughing, not because it was funny, which it certainly was not, but because of the absolute bizarreness of it.
Erik, no Black Friday shopping for me-I'd rather take a beating. Instead read the new Joan Didion. Much more soothing!
Hey y'all, thanks for the comments -- much appreciated~~!
