ὧν ἓν καὶ τὸ σόν, ὦ σχέτλιε, μόριον εἰς τὸ πᾶν συντείνει βλέπον ἀεί, Plato, Laws 10 (translation)
καίπερ πάνσμικρον ὄν, σὲ δὲ λέληθεν περὶ τοῦτο αὐτὸ ὡς γένεσις ἕνεκα
ἐκείνου γίγνεται πᾶσα, ὅπως ᾖ τῷ τοῦ παντὸς βίῳ ὑπάρχουσα εὐδαίμων οὐσία,
οὐχ ἕνεκα σοῦ γιγνομένη, σὺ δ’ ἕνεκα ἐκείνου

boo!
(and, yes, a duck)
Perhaps a bit hard to tell from this photo, but see if you can't guess what this young man has chosen for his Halloween costume. Note the short tie, untucked shirt, chalk-dusted sleeves; note the Nalgene bottle and cell phone . . . got it?
Pretty funny, if you ask me.
What else is new . . . ah, we went to a restaurant in Davenport called Duck City.
How else would they present the wine list?
On a more serious note, next week's election seems awfully important. A chance, perhaps, to hold hearings and compel folks to answer for some of the ineptitude of the past six years; a chance, what's more (however slim), to restore the rule of law to our dare I say once great nation. If you too share these small hopes, please help! MoveOn.org needs volunteers to make get-out-the-vote phone calls. Want to help? Click here to sign up.
