I love the way Mr. Frog Eyes dangles babbling at the end of his rope. Just as I typed that sentence and admired it, I looked up to see a childhood poem about vikings from the recently opened David Foster Wallace archives coming through the wires (via The Awl).
The human condition is one grisly segue after another it seems. Witness the above massive fire my wife and I spied from River Road on a lunch trip to Roberto's.
