Apparently tomorrow is the thirtieth anniversary of the first broadcast of the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. That makes me feel old. More in Britain than in the US, it's a cultural touchstone of my generation (or at least the geeky ones!) and it amazes me that it's now thirty years old.

I have it on tape, not CD, and no longer have the capability to play tapes in the car -- maybe I ought to go find a copy on CD at the library. Assuming it's not in a locked cabinet marked "Beware of the Leopard" of course.

Douglas Adams, you are sorely missed... so long, and thanks for all the fishstories.
