...today. Gong this! 11 a.m. is too early for lunch anyways, but I have nothing else to do and I'm avoiding my TF's office hours in Loker. I head to Holyoke to grab a seat at the awkwardly situated Campo di Fioro (spellcheck!!). I get the first chunk of the freshly baked bread du jour on my sandwich and I take mental notes on who's going into...
...influential molder of social-conservative opinion, wrote his followers that the public's disinclination to throw Bill Clinton out of office reflected "the collapse of the culture." At first I thought he was being a bit harsh. Then Levi Strauss announced that it's laying off a good chunk of its work force, partly because so many Americans have abandoned authentic blue jeans for designer jeans. That gave me a little more appreciation of what Weyrich was getting at. All of us with an interest in preserving Western civilization have our own notion of what just might be the last...
...That doesn't worry Drugstore.com's Neupert, who says, "Frankly, I don't know if the existing brands are all that respected." There's another issue, though.

...limped to the remote Kerguelen Islands, where she had arranged for a new mast. But about 1,000 miles south of Australia, in the southern reaches of the Indian Ocean, her boat was overcome by a monumental wave and rolled a full 360[degrees]. Its rigging and even a chunk of its deck were stripped off. Had Autissier not been belowdecks, she would have been swept overboard. The Australian air force watched over her for four days until a navy frigate arrived to pluck a weeping Autissier from the water...
...heard over the roar of my ghastly train, which makes me think it wouldn't work well on ghastly airplanes either. Audible's software interface, which allows you to select programs, could use simplification. On my maiden voyage, I thought I had set up three Keillor monologues, a chunk of Franken and some Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. But for reasons that are still unclear to me, though the program manager said I had downloaded 20 min. of Wobegon, all I got was the last few minutes of it. Oh, well--at least the Franken survived...
