Godzilla, Warrior Princess 8/20/13  Dan Goodman, 1720 Como Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414.  dsgood at iphouse.com or at gmail.com.

Tuesday August 20, 2013  Felt much better.

***At Steeple People Thrift Store, found a pair of shoes large enough for me.  No price on them.

Explanation:  most likely, someone had worn the shoes into the store, found a pair for sale they liked better, slipped on those, put their old shoes on the shelf, walked out without paying.

I got the shoes for free.

***"Why was this period perceived as a crisis by Whig elites? As Rogers notes, previous demobilizations had been much larger. The answer lies in the expanding number of newspapers, each reporting the behavior of soldiers at home after a long war and in the five hundred coffeehouses throughout London where such events were read and discussed. Rogers argues that this increased press coverage of crime increased the panic and anxiety of elite Londoners."
