| Yesterday, on top of the whatevereth straight day of record heat, there was a thick white acrid haze in the air from marsh fire to the west of town. "Somebody thniks we're hams," I told Susan. "First they try to bake us, and now they try to smoke us." | ||||

| Yesterday I fnished reading Flaubert's Sentimental Education. A remarkable book, of course, for the way it tells individual stories all the while giving the sweep of history, that middle period of the nineteenth century in which Europeans were convincing themselves to shake off their last several hundred years of stifling social structure. Somewhere along the road to the pandering Individualism of our time there was a stop at Nationalism, which tore Europe up with increasingly devastating wars. Too bad. | ||||

| I am very buoyed today by the fact that I checked once again yesterday to see if two of my favorite radio stations might be available over the Internet yet, and this time they both were! A link for BBC Radio 3, the classical program, is available now right on the BBC home page; and, from across the channel, the superbe Radio Classique from France now has a live signal available on its page. | ||||
