Beers & Books (447) – Rulfo: Der Llano in Flammen

El Llano en llamas / The Plain in Flames

Juan Rulfo (16 May 1918 – 7 January 1986)

Laughing Lhursday*

Jürgen Tomicek, one of the most renowned German cartoonists of our time, 
often leaves viewers of his work with laughter stuck in their throats. 

 
* [For first time visitors]: 
Typo in the title? Nah. It's just that 
I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.

Personal note

Tens of thousands of data thieves have finally succeeded: 
I've had enough! 
Until further notice, from now on, Omnium will only be accessible to friends to whom I sent an invitation last night.
The peace of the night.
* *
Desenes de milers de lladres de dades finalment ho han aconseguit: 
ja n'he tingut prou!
Fins a nou avís, a partir d'ara, Omnium només serà accessible per als amics als quals vaig enviar una invitació ahir a la nit.
La pau de la nit.

On the road

3:30 p.m. On the way to shopping. 
Snow drifts. No sign of the cycle path.

5:30 p.m. Heading home.
Shopping was a good idea.
For tomorrow snow, rain and black ice are expected.
Schools across the country will therefore be closed.

Seanhenge transformed into Snowhenge

Whether viewed from below ...

or from above:

Seanhenge has been transformed ...

into a Snowhenge.

However, there's no reason to complain. 

With blue skies and bright sunshine, 

even in freezing cold a walk is a pleasure.
