    It is time for a thread on traditional urbanism, or town planning 13th century style. I will dispel some myths of modern dis-urbanism.

    So far reading Siegfried Sassoon's semi-autobiographical "Memoirs of a fox-hunting man" has been balm for a harried soul. Even his account of shopping on Oxford Street, some 110 years ago, reminds me of how dismal our modern consumerism has become.

    Yes, yes we should.

    Charles Powell, top Thatcher aide says -passports row is triumph of symbols over substance: “Perhaps we should go the whole hog and reintroduce ambassadorial dress uniforms, as well as bowler hats and stiff collars for senior civil servants”

    Running a mold, casting a pilaster, creating ashlar, etc. Best in stone, of course, but rarely done after the 15th century. Even teenagers can handle this with a bit of instruction from a foreman. Lovely looking, and far more environmentally friendly than anything we have today.

    A large percentage of our most treasured buildings and urban milieus from the 15th century to the 19th is basically just stucco rendering on bricks. Cheap, easy, quick, reliable, renewable. Cheating? Yes. But does it work? Absolutely.

    Mrs. Wrath informs me that this fantastic show, Hajimete no Otsukai, is on tonight at 19:00, if you have access to Japanese TV.

    In Japan since 1991 there has been a TV show called 初めてのおつかい. Children between 2 and 4 are sent on their first errands around town (1/3)

    Cities are defined more by what they exclude than what they include. Not all great cities are organic, some are meticulously planned. The one thing they share is a veneration of exclusion, exclusiveness, walls, borders, limits, trade-offs. You can't have good urbanism otherwise.

    No matter how many times I read Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, I always find something new. Here from his "Leftism: from de Sade and Marx to Hitler and Marcuse." Written in 1974 but might as well be written right now, only what he describes has intensified since then.

    "One investigation established that ... there was no correlation between the amount of heroin an individual addict consumed and his criminal activities, as there should have been if the crime committed by addicts was simply and solely to obtain money for the drug."

    Local police is crawling the neighborhood with loudspeakers looking for an 84 year old man with dementia reported missing from his home. Plenty of people in the streets and all the shops open. They should find him soon.

    My lazy neighbor never bothers to pick his fruits on time. In a week or so the birds and civet cats will get most of it. Just like last year and the year before and....
