KULTURAs books will be closing its
doors in Santa Monica on July 20th and
relocating back to Washington, DC where
we expect to be up and running by November.

"To Be or Not to Be" soliloquy text

It is called "Sleepers".

Went to the the beach, stopped for a coffee,
decided to look around, walked into NAKED
at the country mart and found these black & white diamonds "aiglets"
: The plastic or metal sleeves at the end of shoelaces are called Aglets (or "Aiglets"). Besides making an interesting trivia or crossword puzzle question, aglets have several functions: They prevent the lace ends from fraying, they make the laces easier to hold, and they make them easier to pass through the eyelets.The word "aglet" (or "aiglet") comes from Old French "aguillette" (or "aiguillette"), which is the diminutive of "aguille" (or "aiguilee"), meaning "needle". This in turn comes from the original Latin word for needle: "acus".
