  2. this morning’s spooky:

    on my third walking tour of Sunnyside, listening to the excellent https://cocaineandrhinestones.com episode on Rusty and Doug Kershaw ( https://cocaineandrhinestones.com/rusty-doug-kershaw-cajun-way) which in a surprise twist to me ends up being very much also about Neil Young’s On the Beach and Tyler Mahan Coe, the host, opens with a brief history of the acadian people and what’s my first turn on the walk? Acadia Street. Whoa.

  4. 22: “Doppelganger: A Trip Into the Mirror World”, by Naomi Klein

    Another one that I waited out thinking “eh, probably great but maybe I’ll pass” and then people I follow just kept citing it months and months later, so onto the pile it went. My first and not last Klein book, about significantly more than I expected.
