I realize there’s been a lack of curmudgeonliness emanating from this corner of the internet. it’s because I’ve been in Montreal since late June, pretending to be Canadian, and enjoying jazz and their ability to perfectly cook a duck breast.
I took some pictures. They’re over here. You can look if you want.
(I’m back in the States now, and find that my natural curmudgeonly state has reasserted itself undiminished.)
King of States! 
It’s nothing other than a weird coincidence, but today, for no reason, I started humming the “Great White North” song by Bob and Doug MacKenzie and Geddy Lee from Rush. Just thought I’d share.
