Two Photos
I took a book out of the library the other day. The Good Lord Bird, by James McBride. Inside were these two photos.
They’re evocative, partly because they’re artsy but printed on Kodak paper in postcard size. Someone making postcards would have printed on actual postcard forms, wouldn’t they? Not relatively thin Kodak paper.
It isn’t a great mystery, but I liked the photos. They would make nice indie rock CD covers.
Arthur T. Makes a Deal With Arthur S.
I wrote about the warring DeMoula cousins a couple of weeks ago. They’ve come to a settlement, finally, after two months of worker actions that essentially destroyed the Market Basket supermarkets’ business.
Arthur S., the worker hating bond salesman who wanted to suck every last penny from the company, will be paid a lot of money to give control to Arthur T., the progressive grocery man who thinks a good business values its employees and contributes to the quality of the communities in which it does business.
He’s taking on a lot of debt, but if the energy of those workers and the supervisors who supported them during the recent job actions can be applied to rebuilding stores with fantastic shopping experiences, anything is possible.
