"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm not sure what you do to make this activate, but it's meta geeky. Or the next generation of geekdom. Po-gee.

Went to pain management. Did not get any more injections. Instead, I have a sample of and a prescription for lidocaine patches for my shoulders. The left one is tense to the point of pain, so I can't wait to get home and try the first one.

Nerve block in two weeks. One of the instructors wants to make my neuro stop me from getting one, because my chipper perkiness after the last one freaked her out.

And here I was going on the assumption it was a Rotarian conspiracy.

So Xenu had nothing to do with it?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

That was the failed attempt on Harry Whittington's life.

Well, I haven't actually clicked through to the second page of that site, so I'm not going to rule either out.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

sleeping bag was collected. 1 less item taking up floor space. It is a beautiful thing.

Today has resulted in the realization that today through 5/1, we will have a big deadline for a new client every 2 weeks. Not so nice.

What is even happening?

It's weird--I mean how often do you hear or think about the Rocicrucians, but I just came across something about them today, in a book. Okay, for myself, that apparently means you (me) hear about them (still them) twice. Still.

If anyone posts news about the Swedborgians in the next few minutes, I'm going to have my books and P.C. exorcised.
