Signs O’ The Times

Trevor sent me an email with this photo in it,
 

to which I add, “Please do not use double primes (inch marks) for quotation marks.”
 
And Kate sent me a pointer to this receipt:
 

receipt067

 
You may think that Kate is not the first person you’d imagine queueing up to buy a Jesuit, but I think that’s part of what makes her so interesting. (The explanation is in the comments.) As a Dominican spirit, I admire her investment but will decline to partake.
