Get Out & Face the Rain

i met this guy once on the stairs in my old apartment , while he was stealing my Sunday newspaper—true story, who was wearing this 1970's-ish tweed 3 piece suit seemingly going to or from church with a thick mustache and, of course, my newspaper in his hands. I told him he had my paper. He pleaded innocent, about 5 times before telling me that I would owe him a dollar if I took it from him. I eventually shamed him into giving me my paper back.

You know, I kinda wish I would have offered him some coffee and had split the paper with him instead.

These posts could have been fodder for conversation between us. Or, maybe he would have just ignored me and asked for the Sports section back.

I dunno, something to think about.

Typographic History Drama of the Day

ANTOINE AUGEREAU (c. 1490-1534) Parisian punchcutter and printer. Author of several text romans and at least on Greek. Along with his contemporary Simon de Colines, Augreau defined the style of French typography later identified with the name of his most famous apprentice, Claude Garamond. This activity came to an end when he was hanged and his corpse was publicly burnt, on Christmas Eve of 1534, for printing a psalm without permission.
