Morning Read

Somedays I am reluctant to write a post. Sometimes it is because the caffine has yet to organize my mind. Sometimes it is because there is no news. Sometimes. like today, it is because I do not want to see something slip off the front page above the fold. That something is the bowl of Mr. Tran’s excellent Thai noodle soup I had for lunch yesterday. I am confirming all of Pavlov’s experiments this morning every time I go past it. Nonetheless, you have needs. So, here are some good reads from elsewhere:

  • Junk Store Cowgirl writes about events during a western New York military campaign in 1779.
  • Through Rob1 (I have delinked all the other Robs but still like to call him Rob1), I have come across Dina’s site, a well-written blog from India.
  • Alfons in the Netherlands is thinking about tolerance.
  • Living in Dryden continues its comprehensive description of one small US town and does so so well I am starting to think I am actually a shut-in there as long as I leave the TV on channel 5 with its unending ads for apparently unlimited Fuccillo car dealerships of north and central NYS.
  • Ian relives the pre-punk, pre-disco world of being an elementary school kid in the early 1970s home with the radio.

That should help take your mind off Thai noodle soup…Thai noodle soup…Thai noodle soup…Thai noodle soup…Thai noodle soup…
