The Uncertain, the uncanny

I was going to post something about this Times story set in Uncertain, Texas...then saw that Ingmar Bergman passed away.

What's the uncanny part? Well, at 12:15 this morning...I finished watching Cries and Whispers.

Footnote: The night before Saul Bellow died, I was at a wake, chatting about Saul Bellow.

Update: More magical thinking here.
