<p>
This is a sad day. Cody's was my favorite bookstore on Telegraph. I'm glad
I went there when I was in Berkeley last March. I just wish I had known that
it would be the last time I'd ever go there.

This is an <a href="http://klausler.com/cargo.html">interesting piece</a>.
Sadly, it's largely true.

Me and My Shadow

If you haven't been reading <a href="http://viewaskew.com">Kevin Smith's</a>
latest series of blog postings, titled "Me and My Shadow," you're missing
a great read. <a href="http://silentbobspeaks.com/?p=235">Check it Out</a>,
he's up to part 8 today.
</p>
<p>
In it Kevin details Jason Mewes' descent into drug abuse (mostly heroin and
oxycotin) and his efforts to crawl out of the pit he dug. There's nothing
particularly different about Jason's story, but Kevin tells the tale well
and really makes you feel like you're there.
</p>
<p>
If DARE and other anti-drug programs would have kids read stories like this,
and watch movies like <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0180093/">Requiem
for a Dream</a> instead of telling kids that one joint dooms them to a life
of crime and poverty, we might have a chance at winning this "drug war".
