A few days ago I picked up the daily
newspaper to see what terrible calamity had
befallen this country during the night while I
slept. It was refreshing to find a different
article, one that I could relate to. It was about
the actor Ed Asner, who played the part of Lou
Grant on television, editor of a newspaper.
Everybody knows that editors are mean, nasty,
ill-tempered misfits (except for that gifted,
talented genius who guides this publication). So
much for the humor — on with the facts. |

The final hours of a trip are the
same. It always hits that the reservations and
the schedule, once so important, are now
meaningless. On the final night before flying
home from Shannon, I stayed in Galway City. |

On The Edge Of
Common Sense
I saw Ellie and George at the feed
store the other day. She was wearing a walking
cast on her left leg. She'd broken the dorsal tip
of her fibula and pulled some tendons. It was the
result of her perverse need to train young
horses. |

Pardner claims that he knows
nothing about sheep, doesn't want to know
anything about sheep, and intends to keep it that
way. |

Been to the metropolis lately? Downtown
is boarded up and the suburbs are paved with
parking lots for homogenized big box stores and
franchised fast food joints decorated with
mass-produced art. The cityscape looks like one
big shopping mall. At the present rate of merger
mania it won't be too long before you'll buy your
groceries and your gas from one giant
multinational corporation bigger than most
countries. |

I learn something new every day. At the
Texas Book Festival in Austin, I learned that the
second bomb dropped on Japan was a Navy bomb. I
never knew that, and I thought I was
knowledgeable in that area. |
