The Last Day—July 22

Things you could have been doing 100 years ago today.

One hundred years ago, this would be the last day you could reasonably believe that the world you live in is sane and rational. Tomorrow the crisis in that obscure corner of Europe that you thought, or hoped, had blown over will be dramatically rekindled by stupid, self-interested old men who have far too much power, and your world will be set on a road that will change it forever in ways you cannot imagine.

Enjoy the day.
