The State of Washington has a liquor monopoly - you can get beer and wine at grocery stores, but not liquor. And, for decades, liquor was not sold on Sundays. Until 2 years ago, when they decided to try it, figuring they'd collect $9.5 million.

As it turns out, Sunday sales have exceeded that forecast. By 60%.

A NY Times Sunday Magazine article on "reinventing middle age" references Bruce Springsteen's Thunder Road:
“So you’re scared and you’re thinking/That maybe we ain’t that young anymore.” And then, being Springsteen, he immediately offers us a way out. “Show a little faith, there’s magic in the night.”
Is it relevant that Bruce first released that song in 1975, when he was, um, about 26?

Notes on edible container gardens.

And sometimes you don't have to believe in God to get a God's-eye perspective of things.
