where to buy Pregabalin in canada Driving back from campaigning in Ohio, I passed by an intriguing sign. It said, “America or Obama: You Can’t Have Both.” Now it seemed to me we have had both for four years now; and that America was about the same it was when he took office. Having both had proven easy enough, in fact. […]

15-Dec-12Mark Twain’s Grave on All Souls Day.
14-Nov-12I wrote on this blog about a trip of mine to Hannibal, Missouri, the adorable little river-town where Mark Twain spent his boyhood. In our imaginations the writer is so associated with the Mississippi River that I believe it it something of a crime that he is not buried along its course. It is of […]
Heavenly Touch.
11-Nov-12Pastor Jones Fashions, Elmira, New York. Shuttered.
I took a trip to Hawaii a few years ago, and while there I visited the tomb of Joseph Campbell. A friend was asking me about it, and while I don’t have pictures – my camera vanished from my checked baggage – I did have a typically thorough journal. So this is my journal entry […]

Vague Discontent in Northeast Arizona.
06-Jun-12Driving out of Arizona I couldn’t shake a pursuing unhappiness, as I watched mile after mile of desert vanish behind me. I kept the radio off all day and drove in silence. I got out often to take pictures – more than 200 on that one day – but otherwise I kept moving continually, from […]
Campaigning for Obama in Ohio.
15-Dec-12http://vbrisket.com/groups/can-sometimes-knowingness-form-theyre-insiders-subsequently-youre-finished-michael-kors-handbags-outlet/members/ For a long time I was not sure if I would campaign for Obama this year. I was fairly complacent about the election; Romney was, I thought, a terrible candidate, and the Republicans had no ideas beyond giving further government assistance to an utterly unworthy investor class, which I felt could hardly be a winner […]
