Big Muck-Up

So Ezra Nicholas stuffs a world-record three and one-fifth McDonald's hamburgers in his mouth and shouts "I am the Burger King"? One for the trademark lawyers that, surely.

Sorry to post off-topic but I don't have much time on the Internet card we're using.

Writing this from Arles, France after much travel in the footsteps of George Orwell and, among many other things, a visit to the forbidding pair of hilltop border posts at Portbou-Cerbere where Walter Benjamin's papers proved not to be in order in 1940. Now, thanks to EU border relaxations, neither one of the posts is even staffed. To see those two stone lumps sitting absolutely silent on their respective sides of the ridge is a strange experience
.

Much more to report later but I wanted to send greetings at least. Best to all. I'll be back posting regularly soon.
