The newspapers were three hours late tonight. Something up at the printing plant must have, in the words of Nathan, "busted off and disappeared."

cds I listened to while waiting for papers: Uli Jon Roth "Hendrix Happening" and "Transcendental Sky Guitar", The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath A Cloud "A New Soldier Follows the Path of a New King" and "Rest on Your Arms Reversed", Calexico "Aerocalexico", and Sadness "Ames de Marbre"
