No, today’s offering involves neither LeMaître nor Hubble, and definitely not the long-running sitcom to which my nearest and dearest is addicted. Rather, it’s the story of the hard-working order clerks at 400 Second Street, NW, who unload a mass of opinions and decisions on one day, and leave the poor blogger to scrounge and scrabble for copy for days after.

Yesterday I saw a plethora of post-worthy material. Today I have only the odd eccentric and the protest du jour among the file-status-reports and pay-the-sixty-bucks run of the mill orders.

I’ll spare you.

But dear order clerks, please cut me some slack. Stop adhering to the Big Bang Theory.
