    The new site is Threadless. IDK how long the Zazzle items will be available, but if there’s something you especially like, go for it now.

    I’ve made two trips to the region, one on a peacekeeping mission, everywhere from the Golan Heights to Egypt. Describing the current situation and the precedents leading to it would require a number of scholarly works. I’ve met rabbis and others Jews advocating peace who have lost their jobs. I’ve visited Palestinians who still have the house keys from their forced eviction in 1948. I’ve seen satellite photos showing how illegal settlements in the West Bank expand from year to year. I’ve observed how people seeking urgent medical care have to transfer from one vehicle to another because the first one has the “wrong” colour of licence plates. The questions and possible answers are much too complex to reduce to sloganeering.

    Louisiana is a case in point. Many of its laws are based on the French codes in existence when the French immigrants arrived.

    Maybe I should try that with the lanyard I use for my smartphone. Nigel can’t resist chewing it.

    Remember the time when she’d been getting critical mail, and then the last card she opened made up for all the others. (As usual, IDK the date.)
