blue bloom is on the rye

June 16, 2004

Happy Bloomsday one and all. Our local festivity is at a downtown pub; I shall quaff porter. I shall wear my nerdy Joyce T-shirt if I can find it; I think it's at the bottom of the closet somewhere. One of my teachers in college said, "Joyceans are the Trekkies of the literary world. They carry potatoes around in their pockets. It's bizarre."

The Greater Roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus) has zygodactylic feet, leaving X-shaped tracks with ambiguous direction. The Pueblo and Hopi used the X symbol to mislead evil spirits. Border folklore in the early twentieth century held that a roadrunner would lead a lost traveler back to his path. In Mexico the roadrunner is known as paisano, countryman.
