In this issue: travel update, list migration forthcoming
Web site recommendations: IT/politics/misc
I had a great time in London and Paris.. and have since even gone to St. Louis for the weekend. I have posted some comments about my visit to Paris here: http://www.crookedtimber.org/archives/002103.html.
I’ll keep you posted of other thoughts on the trip and pictures once I get around to putting them online. I’m staying put for the rest of July.
E-LIST will be migrating to another system soon. Please stay tuned for updates. I hope to make it as painless as possible (at least for you, dear reader:).
And now onto the links. Apologies to those not in the US for the increasing focus on US presidential election material, but as I’m sure you’re aware, the outcome of this election will have ramifications well past this country’s borders so perhaps the links are not irrelevant
regardless of where you are.

Today’s quote:
“Never trust anyone who believes that God is exclusively on their side.
[long pause] Especially when that man is the president.”
