Early and late open line

Posted by Max Brantley on Sat, Oct 20, 2012 at 8:34 AM

I'll give everyone who isn't out enjoying this glorious fall day a blank slate here. I'm going to be driving around Northwest Arkansas today myself. I'll try to check in this afternoon, but, who knows.

* JUST FOR FUN: Maybe it's just me, but I'm interested in Mit, the orphaned walrus being bottle-fed by a team of 15 at the New York Aquarium.

'A Loss of Roses' a stunner

Before last Friday night, the saddest, most "depressing" Depression-era story I had read was Horace McCoy's "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?"
