SOURDOUGH REACHES DIPLOMATIC INCIDENT STATUS

Tuesday's loaves were gone before ten, which is now less a surprise than a ritual. What is notable is the woman from the Currawong Flats direction who secured one. This is being read variously as (a) a triumph for local enterprise, (b) an affront to natural borders, and (c) a sign of the times. Tash, who continues to say nothing publicly beyond what her loaves say for her, was unavailable for comment. She is always unavailable. She is also always correct. The Gazette considers this a pattern worth watching.
