AT THE MARKET TODAY - A SUNDAY EXTRA: OF CABBAGES AND THINGS...

I am reminded of the movie, BABETTE'S FEAST - a woman flees from the French civil war and lands in a small seacoast village in Denmark.  The villagers' austere existence is changed by her arrival to its lonely shores.  An evocative take on how a community is brainwashed into thinking that austerity is the way to live.  They needed a change and they got it - deliciously!

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY - TODAY'S MYSTERY SHADOW - WELL, PERHAPS NOT FOR LONG...

THE CLUE IS IN THE CAPTION...

In the 19th-century they used to be called "freedom machines" by feminists which, in turn, led to a "shocking" movement for wearing bloomers for bicycling,  thereby liberating women from wearing corsets and ankle-length skirts.

REBELLION MONDAY - OCCUPY WALL STREET... THE REBELLION HAS STARTED EVERYWHERE, IT IS MEANINGFUL...

A visit to Zuccotti Park in Wall Street yesterday with friend Mary Westring revealed, not rag-tag groupies smoking pot, but industrious activists of all shapes and sizes making signs, providing materials to make signs.  I saw guys take off their t-shirts to get an OCCUPY WALL STREET sign silkscreened on the spot!  There were white t-shirts available for those who preferred to let it dry!

Well organized, well publicized in several cities, a professionally printed newspaper to be distributed today

There is a kitchen receiving donations of food for the sleepovers (no mattresses allowed, just tarps to sleep under) and a list of activities for the day...
