James Lileks' blog is fun. And humorous. Where else could you read about the fading ubiquity of matches? It's like Double Happiness* for gweilos. And as Wallace Stevens said (ok, this is a bit stretched), "I don't know what I like more, the blackbird whistling, or just after". Just after, of course (elegy!). So, voila, triple happiness.
*Google returns zero on the iconic Double Happiness matches; where is the Chinese Andy Warhol? Maybe if i knew how to use Baidu. Thanks to HJ for the pic.
