Notably: Covering that unusual meeting between the Flagler County Commission and the Ormond Beach City Commission in the middle of May, which featured a superb fencing duel between our county’s Sean Moylan and their city’s Cliff Shepard, the two attorneys assigned to mediate, I was a bit surprised, if not a bit taken aback, if not a bit shocked, if not a bit … well, anyway–by the signs on the chairs in the picture above, which made me wonder: imagine if Palm Coast did something like that in its chambers at City Hall. We’d probably have an Intifada by the feayeens of Hidden Lake and the B Section and the E Section. Can there be so many developers in Ormond Beach? (The picture is a bit late: it just got back from processing at Kodak in Rochester.) Come to think of it the signs aren’t that different from “press” signs Palm Coast places at a side table, an accommodation meant to be just that, an accommodation, though it always seems to me presumptuous of any of us in the press to sit there, or to have special accommodations of any kind. Especially when it puts us on the same plane as, say, developers.

Doll had learned something during the past six months of his life. Chiefly what he had learned was that everybody lived by a selected fiction. Nobody was really what he pretended to be. It was as if everybody made up a fiction story about himself, and then he just pretended to everybody that that was what he was. And everybody believed him, or at least accepted his fiction story. Doll did not know if everybody learned this about life when they reached a certain age, but he suspected that they did. They just didn’t tell it to anybody. And rightly so. Obviously, if they told anybody, then their own fiction story about themselves wouldn’t be true either. So everybody had to learn it for himself. And then, of course, pretend he hadn’t learned it.
