Four hundred years of Sevillitude

SPAIN_HO.jpg

Some images are simply too odd to pass up. This is from Le Soir, the paper I read daily when I lived in Ixelles, a commune of Bruxelles (Brussels), in Belgium. The caption is as follows:

Un petit garçon prend la pause pour sucer sa sucette en pleine procession, à Séville. La semaine sainte est l'un des temps forts de la vie andalouse. La Semaine sainte de Séville existe depuis le XVIe siècle. Près de 50 000 personnes portent l'habit de pénitent pour défiler dans les quelques 58 processions qui sont organisées. Chaque confrérie sort de son église et établit son propre itinéraire, mais elles doivent toutes emprunter la "carrera oficial".

50,000 hoddies. The anti-Catholic / anti-Indian Klan picnic in Portland, Maine in the '20s only drew 20,000 in Baxter Park. The munchkin with a lolly is a nice touch.

See those four squares in our logo? We call it the cursor, and like an old-school command prompt, it means we're awaiting input. current.tv

hey MB, take a look at this .

Legal Times reports that Federici received a target letter from investigators in January. Target letters are frequently a warning of an indictment.

I found out last night (from a different source), and have been on it all morning. ;-)
