Making
The Alps Transparent
The
passion of Europeans for street naming is old and intractable. As
effective as the numbered streets and avenues of the USA could be,
they remain far from our hearts. Europeans favour streets with names,
even in America: we like Broadway, Lexington . . . even Wall Street,
whilst we are instinctively puzzled by 5th Avenue’s insufficiency,
even if it is fashionable and excellent, as only an avenue in NYC
could be.

The Year By The Beast
As Lunar New Year dedicated to The Snake

evil and temptation. And to be honest the Dragon, whose year we are
about to leave, has not been perceived as a benign entity either,
