What is Up with these Short Posts? This is blog-fation, in the Time of Hormuz Uber Stratification

    I am finally getting through the big book the Silk Road, by Peter Frankopan.

    Is this tetchy? (A word that Frankopan, a British citizen, methinks, wrote in page 470 or so. Lots about Iran, with plenty of Iraq and Afghanistan. The Cold War, i.e. U.S.S.R., and us, of course, made them important. Oil and the sea access. Strategic areas. Links, as the Silk Road has always been.

    April Glaspie gave tacit approval for Saddam Hussein to take Kuwait? Hmmmm....

    Harold Bloom loved literature of all types, both prose and poetry.

    I read up on what the Yalie prized and treasured. Oh, so much!

    The modern stuff surprised me.

    Bloom. Rest in Peace.

    Good, night, Poeta.

    Que descanse en paz, tambien.

    Estas in el sur de Chile, ? o que?
