Propaganda Balloons and the Cougar who Hid in the Hedges

I'll take a break from reporting on books and bookshelves except to say that this afternoon Books and Bookshelves picked up one of the two bookcases I was credited for when I was billed for my wall unit.

The news was just too interesting today.  South Korea, from which my father would never buy the cheapest car because of the dictatorship and the disrepecting of unions, honored the anniversary of the founding of North Korea's Workers' Party by sending 10 balloons containing 20,000 anti-North Korea leaflets, 1,00 U.S. $1 bills, 400 propaganda DVDs and 300 propaganda thumb drivers.  (What are thumb drives?  Oh, another name for USB flash drives!)  North Korea's Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea called it "little short of a declaration of a war."    Meanwhile Kim Jong Un has not appeared.

The cougar that hid in the hedges in Mountain View a few months ago (tracked on gps device) was killed on highway I-280.

The nation's largest flight attendants union says it wants airline passengers to return to stowing cellphones and other electronics during takeoffs because they don't pay attention to in-flight emergency instructions.

Sellers of a house failed to disclose that it had 6,000 spiders!

And are Campos and Chiu almost identical?

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
