I’ve subscribed to the Wall Street Journal to get the scoop on what’s going on in the foreign country of California. The place is currently on lockdown and several other states may follow suit. I discuss this in some detail.

I then expound on my personal connection to the Victorian outlook and discuss the spirit of “Strength and Beauty.” A sentiment all too pertinent to the current situation.

Finally, I finish with a bit of a synthesists delight in relating several books in my collection to one another.

Hope you enjoy and I wish you good fortune in gathering all you need physically and psychologically as the world desperately seeks a fainting couch.
