The Shook-Up Generation (1958, third paperback printing 1969)—a "shocking exposé of juvenile delinquency," with an introduction by Eleanor Roosevelt. It reminds me of this (the book, not the sweater).

Aren't books great?

Halifax, Nova Scotia

Turn up the volume to hear him whistle!! (Did you know that starlings are mimics, like mynas?)

Sigh. I miss animals.
