A friendly reminder that FT Alphaville is off on Friday to celebrate an odd ritual whose meaning escapes its American correspondent. (We kid, people, relax.)
Monday, of course, is a bank holiday. We’ll be on alert in case something huge breaks, but in all likelihood we’ll see you on Tuesday.

- Dr. Seuss Presents The Great Berkshire Hathaway Insider Trading Scandal.
- Deadly tornadoes continue to hit the southern US.
- “Leaving the Euro would not be all bows and flows of angel’s hair. But it would not necessarily be catastrophe, and there is no fixed quantity of austerity that Europeriphery countries have to face one way or some other.”
- A defense of the last few seasons of The Office (American version).
- Looks like Eliot Spitzer has started the book-plugging.
- IMF: capital flows to Asia still below peaks.

Have a great (and hopefully long) weekend.
