  7. In an airport with way too many angry New Yorkers (the normal angry ones, and the pissy ones about our delayed flight). Le suck.

  13. Loving this: Russian photographs 1909-1912, in color: buff.ly/L1dKRr [Absolutely amazing.]

  15. Interesting @washingtonpost piece from Nov on Mack Wolford, the snake-handling W. Va. preacher who died yesterday: buff.ly/JOB5WE
  16. That last tweet was a quote from the book The Craft of Hand-Made Rugs, written by Ami Mali Hicks, published in 1914 buff.ly/JOwsvR
  17. “The standpoint & interest of the amateur must be ... considered... growth of any movement is dependent on those who work for it for love."
