Today was an errands day. One of many to come, I suspect.

It included an overlong visit to Black's to get my passport photo taken. My passport expires in the Spring, but by then I'll be in Halifax, and I won't have anyone there I've known for the required two year period. So I'll have my doctor sign my forms and do it before I leave.

Anyway, this was the first time I'd had my passport photo taken with a digital camera. Needless to say, it took eight tries before it worked, and it cost a whopping $20. I don't like Black's, and regret going there.

Satire is tragedy plus time. You give it enough time, the public, the reviewers will allow you to satirize it. Which is rather ridiculous, when you think about it.
