Scottish wildcat

here are a few links to some info on this interesting critter up on the ropes.

Get the popcorn

Sadly this was his day to day car. A million dollars was alot back then and he had to use the same vehicle getting to his regular job. Hell on the highways but just awful to park.

George Will

On the constitution and a proposed amendment.

Donkey nostrils

Some think that slitting them open enhances their stamina at high altitudes (notice image on right.) These folks are against the practice (last image on page is quite unpleasant.)

Horse sponging is the exact opposite. And continues no doubt.

Chablis and Porsche 944

are terms that seem to date the latter portion of this snippet on No Pasaran. Tough to tell though. Powells is a great site and resource. No Pasaran is interesting and often leads to much more, google's language tools help when pursuing links.

British Navy

Could end up down to 30 or so ships? From New Criterion which is worth the read with quotes from Lewis Carroll. Roger Kimball's material is time well spent. The blog is called armavirumque, noticed it, this post, on powerline but the link is always on the left if you have time.

David Sedaris

Took the niece to see David Sedaris last night up in Poughkeepsie. He was very funny and also very nice. I can't imagine how tedious signing all of those books must get but he seemed very patient. The theatre was gorgeous, they said Bob Dylan had recently played five nights there which must have been a good time. The neighborhood around the theatre looks like it's going through something of a rough patch.
