Some thoughts

Christmas is over, the decorations put away, my Christmas Hatchlings pets released (except for a couple I want to keep) - but it's ok, I'm talking cyber pets here, not real...

I had one of those dreams last night, in which I'm trying to get somewhere and never managing it. I'm not a fan of those dreams, b/c don't they mean I'm searching for something in real life? Deborah and I were at the airport (damn, I had to stop and think of the real word, as I'm in the habit of calling it a plane station, LOL) and couldn't find the departures area. Then we had a look at our tickets and discovered our flight had been an hour previously (now this part I really don't like, in case it means I've missed the boat on something). We still had to search for somebody to talk to to get a new flight. And for some reason there was a new Disney theme park being opened that day, so we had to fight through crowds. And I was helping a woman get her pram up an escalator, which for some reason had a break in it (not as in broken, but as in not continous), and I had to jump with the pram. I had to scrabble for purchase a bit, so that was quite scary.

On my iGoogle page today was a quote: "'Thanks to TV and for the convenience of TV, you can only be one of two kinds of human beings, either a liberal or a conservative.' - Kurt Vonnegut"
Umm, I don't think television can be blamed for that. WS Gilbert noted such a phenomenon in "Iolanthe" - and Gilbert and Sullivan were kinda before the advent of TV.
"I always think it's comical (fal, lal, la! Fal, lal, la!)
How Nature always does contrive (fal, lal, la! Fal, lal, la!)
That ev'ry boy and ev'ry gal that's born into the world alive
Is either a little Liberal
Or else a little Conservative." - Private Willis
