We spent part of election night at our local library. Here are our observations. Rongo Rongo Libraries --- Every sound is louder here. The tearing sound of a paper print out. The whirring of a printer. A flapping sound with someone turning pages in...
Warning 1: I know, but have willfully ignored, the difference between a labyrinth and a maze, because although it was Theseus and Ariadne in a labyrinth, you just can't hide a minotaur and mark your way with a spool of thread unless it's a maze. (Not...
