not law, but
Marcia Oddi at the Indiana Law Blog often finds non-legal stories worthy of perusal (especially on frigid winter nights, when one’s avoiding writing a difficult post). She did today, with a blurb about barns wilting away as tobacco fades in America.
Marci usually starts such posts with “Not Law But Interesting.” I must confess that I often want to start my posts with Not Interesting, But Law.
P.S. What’s an Indiana Gal doing reading that East-Coasty radical rag called the Washington Post?
Funny, David, some of us radical East Coasty types think of the Washington Post as too institutional and conservative! A pleasure reading your site, as usual.

Great Comment, Bill. Indeed, just before going to bed last night, I thought about editing this post to add: “And, what’s a Plains Populist doing reading such an East Coast establishment, elitist newspaper?”
Because I lived in DC when Watergate was unfolding and rushed to my doorstep every morning to see the new developments, I’ll always think of WashPost as a great investigative gadfly.
On the other hand, my college r-n-r band Cold Feet played twice at parties at Katherine Graham’s Georgetown mansion — where the dining room sits about 200. Radical chic meets establishment checkbook.
Are you the Bill Day I know from the FTC?

No, I am afraid not. Just another reader by the same name. I suppose that with carpal tunnel, you have not been playing much music lately.

She reads the NY Times every day too, way out here in the backwaters of Indiana. And hasn’t been called “gal” in some years. Enough said.
