nightdog_barksWarm and uncomfortably steamy -- 89 degrees (31.7 Celsius), feels as if it's 97. At least slept a bit better -- took a couple of ibuprofen and that seemed to help a lot.
Many things to do today. Mr. N is off to Atlanta this weekend. Finished reading Pearl Buck in China and am about to start The Coroner's Lunch, by Colin Cotterill. Set in 1970s Laos, the protagonist is a doctor/coroner detective named Siri Paiboun.
More news and speculation has surfaced about the so-called Crosby-Garrett Roman parade helmet -- namely, that it may not have been found in Britain after all. There are many unanswered questions, laid out in this fascinating blog entry by archaeologist Paul Barford (via The History Blog). Interesting stuff!

I don't put in ANYTHING with our name on it, but everything else -- charity appeals, the little terms-and-conditions folders from credit-card offers, pamphlets and fliers from wildlife groups and other political organizations -- it's all fair game. If the right-wingers want to send me crap that insults my intelligence then they can damn well pay the price of me sending it back. *g*
