let the action be unlimited
Every week—if not more often, it's hard to tell—the mail brings us Action Unlimited, a free newspaper-like thing not unlike a grocery store circular but longer and bound with a pair of staples. Until today, we've just thrown it out without a glance, or at best used it to start the fire for the grill (it's important to use what newsprint you can get your hands on when you no longer take the paper). Well, not any more! I happened to glance at the most recent issue this evening, and was positively absorbed with fascination. Whether you want to hear about local reggae shows on the library lawn or learn how to spot signs that someone is having a seizure, this is the publication for you! It's even more interesting because they rerun the little "news" pieces apparently at random as needed to fill up the space they need to run ads; the effect is strangely disorienting, destroying traditional notions of the "progress" through a text in a very refreshing fashion. Just lovely!
You can read it all yourself, wherever you are in the world, if you care to: we receive the "Concord Edition" if you'd like to fully replicate my experience.
