Tuesday: French Revolution, Blackwater

picture: Alleyway colors and stairs in downtown Bloomington.

Notes to get a day started:

-started the day with William Manchester starting his journey of recollection. First stop is Honolulu, then the Philippines.

-from the NYTimes (via Eric), an op-ed that gives an historical parallel to the war on terror of these last several years: the French Revolution, the Jacobins and the Reign of Terror. Not nice.

-from WAPO, a story that suggest the thugs from Blackwater may have been given immunity for their testimony on the most recent Blackwater rampage. What a crock...

Gotta stop. Breakfast and then the golf course... Hoping for a scramble this afternoon - the sun dropped below the tree line about 5:15 pm yesterday. Cool followed.
