The Ghost of Snapped Shot

On the 9th day of Ramadan, my true love gave to me... A fashion statement made in a tree.

My apologies for being so late today—I've had an unusual amount of business to attend to. (I may be a bit behind on this during the coming week as well, so consider this my apologies in advance, too.)

If you thought that things were any calmer in Rage Central, you thought wrong. The natives, as they say, are as restless as ever:

Indian police opened fire at thousands of people demonstrating against Indian rule on Friday, killing at least two people, as protests across Kashmir showed no sign of abating, police said. At least 61 people, mostly stone-throwing protesters, have been killed over the past two months, when Muslim-majority Kashmir has seen the largest pro-independence demonstrations in two years.
