Friday Varia and Quick Hits

It’s cold here and, for lack of any other comparison, it’s North Dakota cold. As I write this, it’s -24 and it feels like -35. It doesn’t even matter if its Fahrenheit or Celsius to be honest.

Fortunately, we have heat and a fire place and books. So, it actually isn’t that bad especially since we don’t have to be outside much. Plus, this weekend, there’s a light heavy weight title fight on the weekend that should entertain and, on Sunday, there’s the Daytona 500. 

And, in the meantime, there are some quick hits and varia:

• The Battle of the Classics.

• Fire walkers of Northern Greece.

• Christian Prophets are on the rise!

• Related: Tarot Cards for Scholars.

• COVID in Minot.

• Counter Maps.

• The semi-colon.

• RIP Chick Corea.

• Neoliberalism for Polite Company.

• The Lion, the Polygamist, and the Biofuel Scam.

• Off-roads, off-grid.

• Universal Tonality.

• Tempting.

• 1966 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Precision Ref. 6426.

• What I’m reading: North Dakota Quarterly. It’s production time for NDQ 88.1/2 so I get to spend the weekend reading fiction, poetry, and essays and, the best parti is, it’s my job.

• What I’m listening to: Chick Corea (there’s so much of it and it’s all so different).

Oh, Milo.
