The Provocateur Strikes Again
June 2, 2008 10:30It's "cucumber season" again, everybody! It's hot, it's humid, a nasty thunderstorm knocked out power to half the city (including my house) yesterday, so here I sit in the library on a malfunctioning laptop but one nonetheless with free wi-fi.

I can't post the full text here without running into copyright restrictions, but here's the link:
