dear reader, i do not really have one thousand (formerly) blank white cards, but i have quite a few (and there must be hundreds more lovingly cached in drawers or storage units by those i've played against). i post these in salute of the marking of another orbit of the sun achieved by that dear distant benefactor or benefactress who sent those blank white cards last month.
In other news, some bunches of haiku - three gratuitously, well, you'll see, linking to the latest spurts from the man who didn't stop leaking over at the Intercept - and a couple twentieth-century couplets, recently declassified, of which the Intercept's coverage reminded me, and which I'm surprised didn't get posted back when the regular reports of suspicious activities to Dear Norm were at their height.
