Thursday, February 17th, 2005

Just before I awoke this morning (or so it seemed) I dreamed I was in some midwestern greasy spoon conversing amiably with the other patrons. They were, it seemed, all shriners and VOF's: the everymen of the American aged. There was a model train on tracks that ran all the way ...

Tuesday, February 15th, 2005

I was saddened to read of the Tesla Whirled's taking to task of blogger Michael Bates (of batesline.com) in a letter which he has brashly "reproduced" here. I am saddened because the Whirled's letter is couched in rather bland, mamby-pamby language which has failed to properly get Mr. Bates' ...

"There are three things that are too amazing for me, four that I do not understand: the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a maiden. ...

ice, wind and the rising sun

Tuesday, February 1st, 2005

The heavy schedule imposed by my new job and 82-mile commute occludes much of the evening these days, and all of the afternoon. It's dark when I pick up my son and head home, and I'm generally too tired do anything but drool competently. So last night the ...
