My Monday Morning Meanderings

So, life mimics art on the border as El Chapo escapes from his Mexican prison cell through a tunnel dug under his shower.

Meanwhile, the Greeks have caved --- again --- in return for new loans, again.  But whatever happened to real journalism.  So I'm listening to NPR this morning on the way in.  The news of the deal is reported.  Then some reporter in Athens finds a random Greek woman who is "standing in the shade to avoid the oppressive heat" and asks her what she thinks of the new deal.  Is she the spokesperson for the Greek people?  No, she is the "representative" random Greek in the street.  This is what NPR is paying for?  This is reporting the news?  This is getting to the truth of the situation on the ground?  I wonder what Socrates would say.

"This is crap!"

Meanwhile... yesterday I was looking for something to do on a beautiful Sunday afternoon with my wife.  After an hour of Googling I discovered that the Delaware Art Museum in Wilmington initiated free Sundays, starting July 12th... yes, yesterday.

We drove there and parked on the street for free, practically in front of the museum.  And what a terrific little museum it is.  The current show is 100 years of magazine illustrated, including Wyeth and Rockwell.  Great stuff!
