The [Monday] Papers

Working on (hopefully finishing) my taxes today (for various reasons, I do them in the fall, not spring), then I've got (another) dentist appointment. Greatest day ever!

[Embed "Today" here. No, don't. I can't stand that guy, and all in his ice cream truck driver uniform. But it is one of the few Smashing Pumpkins songs I like, and I always thought that note he hits first at 1:27 and many times after that was an emblematic sound of the alternative music of the day, a siren call . . . though not as great as the siren call of the Replacements. Plus, the Pumpkins were phony fake posers.]

A sampling of the delight and disgust you can find @BeachwoodReport.

Big problems on the ferry from Freeport to Florida -- announcement just made that any Bahamian without a visa must now get off. This is not normal. Nornally Bahamians can travel to USA with passport and a printout of their police record. This is a mess. pic.twitter.com/DESUm2qBGE
