15 degrees when we got up. Winter is back for sure. Bob’s Diner for breakfast followed by quick shopping at Price Chopper. Home for coffee then a walk up to the indoor Farmers’ Market for Berkshire bread. 18 degrees. Cold fingers and face on walk back going into a stiff wind.

Karen noted this house on S. 6th St. again. Odd arrangement; maybe complex elevations inside.

Read much of a new NYReview of Books.

Went to library at 4 to see how the Living Library program was going. Karen talked with Jeff Rigby about repairing a book; I made paper birds with Pamela Badilla.

Off to TSL to see BEHEMOTH (BEI XI MO SHOU) a 2015 movie. Very compelling scenes from strip mining for coal in Inner Mongolia. Workers and goat herders lives in a tumult. Moved on to iron production. Workers with lung diseases. Ended with scenes in a ghost city of apartment towers somewhere west of Beijing. A tour de force about unrelenting uncontrolled exploitation of the earth and people by Chinese state capitalism.
