Tea: Mandarin Green with ginger and honey
Music: King Crimson, "Cadence and Cascade"
Time: Night.
I'm sure I'm not the first to wonder things like this, but here goes a set of three random questions to cross my mind lately (and yes, you may wish they'd been run over while crossing):
Why don't we call other countries what they call themselves? Why is it Germany to us and Alemania to the Spaniards -- when it's Deutschland to the people who live there?
(Not that it isn't kind of cool to see Ivory Coast -- okay, Cote d'Ivoire -- in German. It's "Elfentbeinkusten." See, I did learn something new at the World Cup.)
Why are there inverted green crosses spray painted at several locations in Westport? Environmentally conscious devil worshippers? (Free range sacrifices and all that ...)
And why are clowns just so flippin' creepy?
