Before I continue with my photojournal entries, I want to paste in this amusing aside from the flamboyant UK historian David Starkey that appeared in The Guardian. He collects joke cards and this is his favorite:
A city fat cat reclin[es] in his desk chair saying "Oh sorry, I must have dialled my salary by mistake."
This is perhaps a little less funny in the wake of what happened last autumn. . . . But at least Madoff did get 150 years, even if regulatory measures don't seem to have done as much to rein in salaries, bonuses, and pension pay-offs as they were supposed to.

About Me
- magpiemom
- I'm a collector: antique beads, textiles, children's books, and, unfortunately for my family and friends, "fascinating facts." This last category is more commonly referred to as UBIs (useless bits of information) and/or maternal spam. I'm setting up this blog to organize various petits morceaux I've accumulated over the years, the bright shiny things that have attracted the attention of a magpie mind.
