Anthropologists note that color sense is different among cultures around the world—as demonstrated for instance by what we call "blue" and "green." But now we learn that colours are represented and processed in the same way in the brains of different people, and again what is "blue" is most telling.

Dearest Martha,
The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover.
Yours in glaze,
