Last year, I gave a talk on _Strike_ at Mizzou & met Marcus Rautman, who has excavated late Roman Sardis for years. In the book, my favorite inscription is a building contract from Sardis (CIG 3467; 459 CE) that essentially reads like a union contract for a construction job. Today, Dr.R sent this 🥺

once again thinking about the Sardis pizza
Got me thinking about how a random couple from New York moved to Sardis Mississippi and opened up a New York style pizza place. And yeah, 2 hours is too far for a drive for pizza but DAMN if I wouldn't do it.

THE RETURN OF TOP FLIGHT RUGBY TO SARDIS ROAD
Today is going to be a truly wonderful day in the "now is surely the time for the things I have always called for" stakes.
Excited for the first column calling for us to seize the moment to: scrap planning rules/reform taxes/re-enter the EU in some form/abandon fiscal prudence.
