These things are being commercially released ext year for $20,000. It doesn't look like they move fast enough to be practical, but still pretty freakin' exciting, even despite their painfully unfortunate slogan.

Crossing the Bar
-Tennyson

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And...

Yeah, the Key West Citizen . . . not so grate aktually. blackeyed

Oh well. Still exciting.
I have no idea what happens if you are sucked up by a water spout. I think you are devoured by a singularity in the middle, just like a Black Hole.

But don't quote me on that. wink

So does what I'm reading mean you are now Mr. Acscanius Esq. ?
Or that you've decided to pursue other interests ? confused

I found this quote in a book and i needed to write it down somewhere.

Discourage litigation. Persuade neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often the real loser in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of becoming a good man.

I don't think it is about Napster. Open source, maybe. Music, more likely.

Did you ever hear the story about Lincoln where the wealthy landowner wanted $2 from a poor farmer? Lincoln went to the rich landowner and told him he would take the case for $10. Lincoln took that $10 and gave $5 of it to the poor farmer. The poor farmer gave the rich landowner $2 and kept $3. Lincoln kept $5 and the rich landowner was happy because Lincoln made the poor farmer pay...

The way a crow shook down on me
the dust of snow from a hemlock tree
has given my heart a change of mood
and saved some part of a day I had rued.

I'm supposed to have a draft of that paper on Rwanda done today. It is not done. I'm also presenting my research in class. My research is lacking. It's...

True or false: The notion of love at first sight is a post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy. Why?

Edit: I'm not sure I used the fallacy correctly. Here's what I think. I was washing the dishes the other day and thinking about an old friend. I went to boarding school in tenth grade. I was kid of a shy kid when I got there....

I wouldn't know about the Latin, but the logic seems good to me.

thefreak:
False. Don't ask my why, because I just had to Google "post hoc ergo propter hoc" then look it up on Wiki. I'm too stoned to properly analyze it. tongue

15 years ago today, Juvenal Habyarimana's plane was shot down and the genocide in Rwanda kicked off. I'm writing a paper on the West's involvement. More to come, perhaps.

In other news, Jim Douglas just vetoed the VT gay marriage bill. Tomorrow we'll see if the legislature can overturn it. Keep your fingers crossed.

Update: We won! Marriage for everybody!

Well thank you so much, it was all just lovely. Since I've been working these really long shifts, bathing has become like my medicine for my tired body so that was really perfect. I had read Wind, Sand and Stars by Exupery a few months ago so to read The Little Prince now is magical. Thank you very much x

Of course.

And that was the mighty David Thomas. I've seen him twice now. He is a behemoth, both in person and in performance.

Oddly enough, I should have gone to the festival where your first clip was filmed. I was very annoyed when I heard that YLT had played and that I'd missed them. I think Steve Earle's on this year.

thank you

My November Guest
Robert Frost

My Sorrow, when she's here with me,
Thinks these dark days of autumn rain
Are beautiful as days can be;
She loves the bare, the withered tree;
She walks the sodden pasture lane.

Her pleasure will not let me stay.
She talks and I am fain to list:
She's glad the birds are gone away,
She's glad her simple worsted...
