My mother had a thing for blue in tableware; she said it warded off any evil eyes intent on ruining the food.
“People who have cats live longer. There’s research. I think maybe it’s because you don’t want to live as long after it dies.

“You could blame the war. You could blame the idiots who made the war. You could blame Kiowa for going to it. You could blame the rain. You could blame the river.

You could blame people who were too lazy to read a newspaper, who were bored by the daily body counts, who switched channels at the mention of politics. You could blame whole nations. You could blame God. You could blame the munitions makers or Karl Marx or a trick of fate or an old man in Omaha who forgot to vote.”
