Maybe I’m getting old and set in my ways – after any  

traveling, I am always pleased to return home to Schenectady.

Today, I left Rochester quite early, in order to beat some

winter precipitation that was going to be coming at me from

both the west and the east.

 

To celebrate a safe return to rain-to-snow Schenectady,

I’m going to share a few poems from Schenectady’s most

celebrated haiku poet, Yu Chang.

 

vivid dreams

the din of a garbage truck

drives you away

 

 

 

 

back on shore

the river

pouring from his swamp boots

 

 

turning over

a dead leaf

an earthworm twitches

 

 

 

 

 

snowdrift

news of a missing dog

from pole to pole 

 

 

Yu Chang- Upstate Dim Sum  (2004/II)

a wintry mix

big wet ones

Even not-so-young whippersnappers like Evan Schaeffer

are apparently addicted to techno-speed, and need their

broadband to post to their weblogs.  Your old f/k/a  Editor 

patiently accepts the delays of dial-up modems in

concocting this daily weblog buffet.  RU Impressed? 

 

  You don’t have to be a federalist-fanatic or libertarian to

worry about the phenomenon of overcriminalization.  Both

Mike Cernovich and Jeremy Richey have pointed to

Overcriminalization: The Politics of Crime, a symposium now

available in the American University Law Review (Vol. 54: 3,

2005).   There are four articles, two essays and more, with

plenty of food for thought.
