Is half the world not covered in snow? Strangers and intimates under one snug blanket. Evidence of global warming. No holes in the ozone layer! The polar ice caps are fine. Don’t worry! Go about your business as usual. Soon it will be spring. The temperature will be temperate. The snow and ice will [...]

Weekend Update:
Have you ever gone straight through? Jabal Tariq, it was. Tariq’s Mountain.
Warrior and Edgar Allan Poe and Sizzy journeyed to Gibraltar.
Gibraltar, PA. U.S.A.: a village of apparently few inhabitants and no official population count. Just the straits, ma’am.
The township population is 6,869 and 97% white (2000 Census figures).
Eddie thought he saw a sign for Elf-Storage, so [...]

Dreamspot, anyone?
In the brief hour between seven and eight in the morning, four designers were busy as bees on Walnut Street between Broad and 16th Streets in Philadelphia’s Center City. Two parking spots, one day, in the middle of National Design Week. Theirs was a chance to [...]
