first cold night–
smell of hot dust
from the vent

scat, sun
clouds, too!
harvest moon comes tonight

Saratoga Springs, NY, has a fresh approach to choosing a “community novel,” which they hope will be read by the entire City in 2005 — let the community itself choose “a single novel rich enough to sustain invigorating dialogue.” After starting this Spring with more than 100 titles, ballots from the public have narrowed the list to five novels, with the final Saratoga Reads! title to be chosen in further voting that ends on October 10th.
The final five books are:
Nobody’s Fool, by Richard Russo
Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen
Ragtime, by E.L. Doctorow
The Golden Compass, by Philip Pullman
The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini
The public can vote online or at one of several polling stations in town.
Marci Oddi has fascinating coverage at her Indiana Law (we)Blog on the tension between privacy, security and access to public records created by aerial mapping/photography.
