Through crime and crusade, our labor it's been stolen

Because Hanscom hasn't held an air show in years, I have no idea what the hell passed over my parents' yard behind the unrelieved overcast except that it sounded like a heavy bomber, but not a modern one: an air-shaking piston-engined roar like who ordered the Flying Fortress, which were not to my knowledge even tested at the base. It suggested lost psychogeography and worried me.

Japanese Breakfast's "Picture Window" (2025) came around again on WERS as I was driving this afternoon. The line about ghosts and home keeps resonating beyond the pedal steel guitar.

I see we will be celebrating the Fourth of July out of spite this year. So go other holidays. Af tselokhes, John.

Consensus on the Lexington email chat list was that the planes yesterday were on their way to some sort of military funeral, unrelated to the military planes that will do a flyover for the Pops concert tonight.

Good to know. It was loud, sustained, and I hadn't thought we were quite at the carpet-bombing stage yet.

Love your icon--I need to look for a poster of that.
