change of venue

Now Rob lives in Madrid. At this point in history, it's nicer in Madrid than it is in Baghdad.

Here is some found prose from Rob, as he deliberates his new situation:

“Rob has always vascillated between clean, Hemingwayesque prose and pseudo-Faulknerian grandiloquence. Read here for more of his most ponderous, sentimental and high-falutin' musings. If you're lucky, he may blather on about how the country is changing for the worse, how there has been a decline in good manners and a rise in horrendous crimes, how people nowadays ''dont have no respect for the law -- -- dont even think about the law.''

''Any time you quit hearin Sir and Mam,'' Rob observes, ''the end is pretty much in sight.''
