Comics

Some people read the comics on Sunday. I read the wedding announcements. "Ms. Jane Weilanski-Mermadosk wed Mr. Karan Houdramini-Sednous on July 3rd. The Rev. Bagnamatichambambaram officiated. The wedding was arranged." It is sort of a nice touch that we are importing arranged marriages. The bride and groom marry neither above or below their social class. They will live in a neither above or below suburb, in a neither above or below house and will have neither above or below children. Soon they will strive mightily to advance in increments to "the above" and leave "the below" behind no matter where they are in the above and the below world at the present.
