Was it necessary to have one person putting ona flute rendition of "My Heart Will Go On" on the upper level of the Times Square subway station, and another person playing it on steel drums on the QNRW level?

The Bathroom is Totally Busted

ID: "The 139 page decision in the Pennsylvania 'Intelligent Design' case is fascinating reading -- remarkably lucid and interesting. http://www.sciohost.org/ncse/kvd/kitzmiller_decision_20051220.pdf
The 'why this is not an activist decision by an activist judge' bit on page 137 is terrific, although you're best off getting there the hard way, starting at page 1, including slogging through the appalling behaviour of the people on the School Board who started it, who, despite feeling it was important to expell Darwin (and Darwin's finches) and get the Old Testament God back in the classroom, had somehow managed to fail to realise that any of that stuff in the Bible about bearing false witness applied to them.

Michael Zulli writes to let me know that he's finished another painting and put it on eBay. He's also put a rough of the next painting, a magnificently goatish Pan, that he's working on now as the final image of the auction. Keep an eye out at http://www.michaelzulli.com/pan.htm to watch it progress and to see when it goes up on eBay (or alternately just write to him and offer him lots of money for it. He won't mind. It's how he can afford to buy more paint)."(Via Neil Gaiman's Journal.)

Chance favors the driver who is prepared.
The story that I've been told is that Alexis noticed that I was driving two cars ahead of her on the freeway. Shana calls me and notes to me, "Traffic's pretty heavy, isn't it?" This followed by an offer to meet for coffee at a service plaza, and an unsolicited contribution of Windshield Wiper fluid for our rental car.
If you believe that.
The far more likely hypothesis is that they're working for Red Team, and that I've been under surveilance for months. Those may look like healthy, happy dogs, and that may look like new ski equipment on their roof, but in reality, that's all part of the NSA echelon transponder & relay system they've been ordered to carry. The fluid? Obviousl the latest in nanite technology. The wiper fluid still doesn't work.
But you my dear reader won't find any mention of this in FISA paperwork.
Pretty fucking convenient, no?
But I leave the matter of trust to you. You know which explanation is more credible.
Back to the road...
And I know you're on to me.
