Wow.

Is this a game of Where's Goatse, because I win.

Today I am wearing the shirt during someone's sales presentation.

I hope they're a Giver.

That's really the thing with all the shit coming down these days, isn't it? The lack of surprise. The dull ache that just says, "Ugh. I saw that coming. Why can it still happen when we see it coming?"

Checked out some of the s9 stuff, and I like the cut of your jib, mister. Consider y'self friended.

Care and foresight

"Why can it still happen when we see it coming?"

In and after grad school, I managed to rid myself of the
clammy idea that one with the biggest Bibliography section wins.

But now, I am still trying to rid myself of a slipperier
fallacy: the idea that if I, and maybe also a
hundred/million/billion people can see obvious trouble coming,
well, then, like, NASA or somebody will take
care of it.  Or that at least you won't get a billion lunatics
standing in the way of taking care of it.

Nope.

DOOOOOOOOOM.

Because the potential for doublethink and groupthink
is pandemic.  Doubleplusgood bellyfeel
THIS time the money WON'T run out! etc.

That's too bad. They did the mortgage on my 2nd house. I rather liked them.

O to the T

I'm spending much of Friday and Saturday in SF. Hotel and concert are at the Embarcadero, near the Bay Bridge, and I will of course be hitting Aquarius Records while I'm there.

Are there any must-eat-at places around either of those that you know of?
