Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Diane never appeared in the series; she could have been Kyle Maclachlan's imaginary friend.

The following gets rid of list item borders in FF and chrome but not in IE. Have not done CSS in so long I plain don't remember ...

#navlist { display: inline; list-style-type: none; padding-top:20px;padding-right:2px; padding-left:2px; }

#navlist ul li a:hover {background-color: #FF3;}

#navlist ul li {border-width: 0 0 0 0; border-style:none;}

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Amazon's Free App of the Day today is OfficeSuite Pro 5. Looks like it might be useful on a tablet, dunno about on a phone.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

this list of demands cracks me up.

This one is my favorite:

If you can find a host for me that has a friendly parrot, I will be very very glad. If you can find someone who has a friendly parrot I can visit with, that will be nice too.

DON'T buy a parrot figuring that it will be a fun surprise for me.

Either this has happened (weird!) or he has some truly strange fears.

Wait, you mean:

I start being afraid to express my appreciation of anything, because they would get
it and give it to me at any cost. If it is night, and the stars are
beautiful, I hesitate to say so, lest my hosts feel obligated to try
to get one for me.

Yeah. Who ARE these people? I mean, honestly.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I faded out long before the end. That is the definition of tl;dr.
