More thanks

It’s kinda predictable that I’d be getting some high-profile visitors at the time I’m least able to put up new material—it’s the busy season at the journal I edit. (That’ll change after the holiday weekend, after I throw everything into the copyeditor’s lap.)

In the meantime, a big shout-out to the good folks at Coudal for linking to my throwaway igloo piece, the esteemed Abu Aardvark for linking to the piece on Middle Eastern pop culture, and new friends who’ve contacted me over the past few weeks. There’s a rambling meditation on LA and the land (one of the pictures didn’t work, will fix) to chew on until next week, when I'll be back from Nashville and typing merrily.

Happy Independence Day to all!
