Barging in


Just when you think you've seen it all, something like this comes along and proves you wrong.  Pleasure barges are all the rage in Europe. This is one of hundreds moored along the Kennet-Avon Canal near Bath, where pleasure-bargers negotiate no less than 23 small, manually operated locks to make their way merrily up or down the stream. Turns out Handel's Water Music was written for bargers. Who knew?

The good stuff:

spirited debate
the triumph of reason
the rabbit in the moon
satire
rediscovering old books
happy clients
a hole in the fence
Dodger Stadium
Fall
