Happy new year, gang.

Ive been having a return of insomnia, so am taking a break. But my omnivorous reading continues. Anytime I find anything relevant to this section
of Darwiniana, I’ll be glad to alert nemo.

I would never have dreamt that the Garrard book on the Fitzgerald translation of the Rubaiyat would produce so much information. And thanks
to Nemo having scanned that material, it is now available on google.

As is the material from Burtons chapter on Tassawuff from Sindh and the Races that Inhabit the Valley of the Indus…that entire text can be found on Google books.

PS If anyone ever finds an old bookstore with cheap copies of 1970s issues of Rolling Stone for sale, peruse them and look at the classified ads in back.

The back issues make fantastic gifts and the classifieds tell you what was big in the 1970s. I saw a number of ads for Arica happenings, both in SF and NYC in 1973 issues of Rolling Stone.

Todays version of Rolling Stone is an anemic ghost, compared with its
fiesty first beginnings.

Thanks, your contributions have been invaluable. I would never have discovered the material from Burton without your input. Keep up the good work. nemo/JL

    As a favor to little me, say a prayer.

    This morning, Google instituted a cutsie graphic on its homepage of a cherry branch. A single, pixilated fruit detaches and falls, and as it does so, it crashes my ancient browser.

    Am getting very, very fed up with this RAM consuming junk.

    Hope there are enough complaints to Google HQ that they will resume using still images for graphics and knock it off with the moving images
    crap.

    Treat us as adults, not as children who need to be entertained all the time.

    And thanks to nemo for keeping the design of his site old school, low maintainance, and easy to navigate.

    thanks for the statement about my site: do you mean this blog or my other web sites.

    The format of this blog is, btw, lean and fast, if that is what is meant.
