A Warm Enough Thursday

Warm enough today to sit on the deck and read Chandler, for a little while anyway. It was hard to face a computer on an afternoon like today, though I persuaded myself to do it, in the interest of getting through the Great Recession. If indeed it deserves the title. I'm not quite persuaded it's worse that the roughest patches of the mid-70s to early '80s, though "worst crisis since the Great Depression" has been repeated so often that it must be true.
