Dimpson, Doctroid, McGonnell, Fool--did a fireball blaze across the sky
out your direction a couple hours ago? I guess it was probably just a
jet trail catching the rays of the sunset, but there was an awfully
bright red streak moving slowly toward the western horizon as we walked
home from our first ice-cream-stand dinner of the season tonight.

Perhaps part of the Aquarid meteor shower?

...the reason why so many professional artists drink a lot is not
necessarily very much to do with the artistic temperament, etc. It is
simply that they can afford to, because they can normally take a large
part of a day off to deal with the ravages. [Amis _On Drink_]

Evolutionary clothing, which had better be washed either in soda water or
in the Liffey.

Alternately, squid shirts ( http://squidfire.com/ ).
