  1. Great crowd in Vergennes Vermont last night for "Ego Tourism: How the Tao Made Me (a bit less) Weird." (the Ursula Le Guin version)

    Now it's your turn Portland. 3 shows this weekend:

    Sat 11am Kenton branch library, 8226 N Denver Avenue

  2. Has anyone made a current translation with DU and Cluster Bombs?

    .> The land where an army passed becomes desolated. After war, lean years come. ^1
    .> 師之所處、荊棘生焉、大軍之後、必有凶年。 ^7
    .> 荊棘(けいきょく)焉(ここ)に生じ、大軍の後は、必ず凶年(きょうねん)あり。善くする者は果たして已(や)む。 ^7
    .> 軍隊が通った後の農地は荒れ果てるので、大軍が通った土地は必ず凶作になってしまう。^7
    .> Where the army marched
    grow thorns and thistles.
    After the war
    come the bad harvests. ^2
    .> Wherever a host is stationed, briars and thorns spring up. In the
    sequence of great armies there are sure to be bad years. ^3
    .> Where troops have encamped
    There will brambles grow;
    In the wake of a mighty army
    Bad harvests follow without fail. ^4
    .> Where armies are quartered briars and thorns grow. Great wars unfailingly are followed by famines. A good man acts resolutely and then stops. He ventures not to take by force. ^5
