Colombia beat Panama 5-0 in the quarters and Uruguay 1-0 in the semis.  See the Copa America website.

Grace Community Food Pantry, 245 Education Way, Bunnell, drive-thru open today from noon to 3 p.m. The food pantry is organized by Pastor Charles Silano and Grace Community Food Pantry, a Disaster Relief Agency in Flagler County. Feeding Northeast Florida helps local children and families, seniors and active and retired military members who struggle to put food on the table. Working with local grocery stores, manufacturers, and farms we rescue high-quality food that would normally be wasted and transform it into meals for those in need. The Flagler County School District provides space for much of the food pantry storage and operations. Call 386-586-2653 to help, volunteer or donate.




Diary: In August 1982 I was a recently graduated 17-year-old spending a month with a German girlfriend in a Bavarian village called Hutten and learning to drink beer on the orders of my girlfriend’s uncle, who would not allow me lunch without a tower of Dinkel Acker, a beer that to this day makes me swoon (as does any German beer) more nostalgically than inebriatedly: I would have to wait until the discovery of Belgian beer at the actual (and now unhappily closed as it undergoes refurbishing at the hands of an American equity firm) Metropole Hotel on the Place de Brouckere in Brussels to learn that there is life after 5 percent beer. Anyway, that August–the very day, Aug. 12, that Israel was pounding West Beirut so furiously as to elicit a call from Ronald Reagan to Menahem Begin, the terrorist-prime minister, ordering him to desist; Begin, of course, ignored Reagan and Reagan let it go–I was able to hitch a ride by myself to Paris for a couple of days, and there, freed of all supervision, walked the Champs-Élysées, lied about my age (you had to be 18 then) and slipped into a theater to see “Emanuelle,” the cheesiest soft-porn film ever made–because of its pretentiousness, not its expectedly cheesy sex scenes. I felt so guilty afterward that I hopped into another theater and atoned with “On Golden Pond.” But like the smell of the Paris metro or the sight of Parisian pavement’s unique arcs, the theme song from the movie–cheesier than the movie–has kept its grip on me like an unbidden memory that makes me oddly sad every time I hear it, sad over the slippage of time, over the distance of those years, the damn nostalgia of it all. “People turn to the past because they are looking for something that they do not find in the present — comfort and well-being,” wrote Witold Rybczynski in Home, that wonderful little book on the concept and architectures of home. But I have comfort, I have well-being. I don’t have 1982, I don’t have Paris, and Palm Coast’s P-Section and the Publix on Belle Terre can only go so far to make up for the missing smell of fresh-baked baguettes dueling with the smell of dog shit on at 5 a.m. sidewalk on the Avenue des Ternes. And so back to Pierre Bachelet’s “Emmanuelle” et ma vieille France. It’s not as moving as Francis Lai’s theme for the second Emmanuelle, but it’ll do. See below. 

—P.T.

Paris will still for long be a bizarre mixture of the deepest magnificence and the most repelling barbarism.” (“Paris sera encore longtemps un mélange bizarre de la magnificence la plus recherchée, et de la barbarie la plus dégoûtante.”)

–From Voltaire’s Questions sur l’Encyclopedie (1771).
