A few Quick Ones

Bob Dylan has a short interview in the Times of London, where he discusses Obama, the Civil War and a few other things. Very entertaining and interesting, I thought.

For the awful pictures of the earthquake in Central Italy (east of Rome, in the mountains that form the spine of the peninsula), go to La Repubblica's gallery. Apparently a prominent scientist predicted the earthquake a month ago, and was dismissed as a grandstander. Devastation.
We traveled north of there, in Umbria around this time last year. The finest of school trips, two wonderful students, a parent, and me, taking it real easy. But this earthquake shows, once again, how disfunctional Italian politics can be.
