		Hard to know how long this link will stay alive, but this is a story in the LA Daily News about a farmer's market being set up at a local mall. We drove by this farmer's market today; it's sort of around the corner from our hotel. The idea is that office workers in these parts will really respond to having something different, like fresh food from farms, and will go over on their lunch hours, etc. And maybe buy something inside the mall, too. They got the idea from another mall further east in the valley.

			We are in Los Angeles for the long weekend for a wedding, and at the urging insistence of our friend Jackie went straight from LAX to the La Brea Tar Pits. Somehow on previous visits to this left coast burg we had omitted this famous site, but no one who can remember their fifth grade history or science class should miss it. But the best part was this: we got a parking space right in front of the LA County Museum, to which the pits are next door.

		If you act today, you've just about got time to make your plans to attend the World Nettle Eating Championships in a remote corner of Dorset in the UK. June 17. It is advised that event tickets be booked early. Believe me when I tell you that if it were at all possible for me to go this event, I would be there. If you go, don't be too surprised if you see me.

The action is not fast, but the CornCam site from Iowa has a sequence of shots from earlier days so you can see the progess as corn grows. Or, you could just sit and watch as the cam refreshes and watch the corn grow in real time.

	Remember all that talk, some time ago it was, about the Information Superhigway? Wondering where it went? Well, here it is.

				I took my query about what the scientific name might be for nail-biting to AskMe.com, and a person named Elise Saltus answered that the term I was looking for was probably onychophagy, based on the technical term "onyx" for the nails. It wasn't in my dictionary, but a Google search, sure enough, turned up several citations that used the word onychophagy to refer to nail-biting. Score one for AskMe.com!

If you have been a reader of Poor Clio, you may have come to the site on this visit from the old URL and been re-directed here. The old URL was lengthy and somewhat cumbersome. The new one is shorter and, unlike the previous one, it is actually possible to imagine remembering it and typing in the URL if you aren't where there is a ready-made link. I've tried to inform everyone, webrings, weblogs.com, etc. about the new address of jamesedmunds.com/poorclio, but if I have somehow not reached you yet, etc., please accept my apologies...and please be so kind as to change your bookmarks! Thanks...

			It's starting to look like I live in a derailment district. Eunice, LA, where the latest mishap occurred last week, is about 50 miles from us.

The Art of Fergus Bremner site includes something said to be crazy, but which to me is not as odd as the home page.

	Went last night to see Mission: Impossible-2 and was struck by the observation that spies, whom you would think should try to wish to remain shadowy, actually exhibit some extraordinarily conspicuous behavior. At least in movies.
