June 30 - Value Village

So I was at Value Village for some shorts, doing my bit to combat the fashion marketing machine, when into my shopping basket fell Stephanie Meyer's Twilight (can I say, because it counts as West Coast literature? no?) and -- rather more predictably -- Paul George's Big Trees, Not Big Stumps: 25 years of campaigning to save wilderness with the Wilderness Committee (autographed to "Janet and John," and with the accompanying DVD still in the back cover, amazingly). A divided soul, possibly, but one that's rooted here, at least.
