Downtown Little Rock

 I took the long way to pick up my Little Rock Marathon credentials this morning as I walked through downtown, past a few somewhat historical landmarks. They included buildings on Main St. that once housed Bennet's Military Supply (where, as a high school junior, I bought an orange, blue, and yellow rugby jersey I wish I still owned), the News Mart (by far the most reliable place to buy The Daily Racing Form from the start of my horserace passion in 1986 until it closed six years ago), the Gazette Building, and the former site of the streetlight pole that fell on and destroyed my all-time favorite car.

QUESTION OF THE DAY. ...Why would anyone contribute to any of Madonna's thirty-two charitable causes once they learned she recently paid $500 million to have a house built for her dogs?*
