First things first -- a rec for an absolutely fascinating article in Slate. It's a long excerpt from the original in The Paris Review, and is about ancient cave art in the U.S., specifically in the Cumberland Plateau (mostly in Tennessee). This is a terrifically atmospheric piece of writing, and it came close to giving me goosebumps as I read it late last night. Some of you may find it a little too heavy on the woo-factor, but it's still a very, very interesting report -- America's Ancient Cave Art, by John Jeremiah Sullivan.

Cloudy and much cooler today, but no rain. Almost finished with The Poisoner's Handbook, which has also been an excellent read.

Wasn't that a cool article? So interesting, and such well-drawn and engaging personalities!

The Poisoner's Handbook is so good, and offers all kinds of opportunities for fic. *g*
