I have been a little out of the loop--I had a car accident last week. Between the insurance company and the feeling in my gut, I have not felt productive. I intend to write something about European defense policy. I will repost something that I wrote to another blog in a moment. First, a moment to remember my departed 1997 Saturn Station Wagon, which I called the Didge (after that Australian instrument). It was the first car that I bought with my own money.
