Re: Vacation 

Dear Guys: 

I’m heading into the wilds of Severn Valley, Wales for a week starting this afternoon. No idea if I’ll have cell service, so if y’all could fill in on the twitter feed a bit, I’d be obliged. 

Also: terminate Snowden with extreme prejudice. 

Warmest Regards,  

孔夫子

Volgi,

To quote Dr. J.’s favorite closeted architect father, caveat emptor. We have your back, but perhaps at too great a price…

Stay out of the darkest part of the woods, and make sure you wear your insect repellant. The insects from Shaggai carry nasty parasites.

In honor of your well deserved vacation, we’re posting a My Little Pony video in the original Turkish:
