- Friday evening I saw a quick report on the evening news about how the city had found the tree that would become this year’s downtown Christmas tree. Being naive, I always assumed that they trucked the thing in from Indiana County or whatever. Wrong: they found this year’s tree in Summer Hill. Growing, as it would seem, in someone’s yard? Do they just decide that someone’s tree will look good downtown and cut it down and take it? Does this homeowner know what’s about to happen here? Does eminent domain apply in a case like this?
- Saturday‘s Casiotone show was good, though it took place at the end of a somewhat stressful day (the eye-twitching began around 6 and ended sometime yesterday afternoon). To Bad Catholics were intentionally/ironically bad for the most part and I was not in the mood for that. However, the Pitchfork-hip crowd that turned out for the show seemed to be endlessly amused.
- Yesterday whilst selling some books at Half Price Books for like pennies on the dollar, I was browsing and noticed that they had a copy of Let Us Now Praise Famous Men on the shelf labeled “Men’s Studies.” I did not check their Women’s Studies shelf to see if Little Women was there.
