I still to this day believe that to be the case.
Couldn't this process be streamlined by applying an appropriate length of conduit? Maybe a little glycerin on the ends? The livestock could be omitted, and you could fly southern, 'solo'...
Sorry. I'm angry with southerners in general, largely due to the Missouri Compromise, which forced my direct contact with genuine southerners for years, despite my position relative to the Mason/Dixon Line...

I know, I know. I'm a reverse-bigot anti-bigoted pro-bigot. It's just too damn hard to fight the tendency towards generalization...plus it's fun, with the easy targets. Kick em' while they're down, I say.
Most of them, anyway...
...those guys any good?

A great program called IpodRip has recovered most of the music, but has saved it as seemingly arbitrarily named files.

I have so far got as far as the beginning of the 'E' names.
Altogether there are 7,189 files to be opened. That's 14,378 clicks!
Tomorrow - E to M.
You need to change your mouse settings so that one click = doubleclick.
Save your wrists. You may need them later.

There was a forest fire today that got about 100 yards from my house before the volunteer firefighters got it under control. That was pretty fucking scary. When I was driving back from town and saw the smoke, I was sure it was my house that was burning.
Tomorrow, I'm gonna get me some renter's insurance.

I'm sick of Prince right now!!!!!
Prince played yesterday evening at the Montreux Jazz Festival, 4500 tickets sold in less than 15 minutes.
And now everyone is talking about that around me.
I'm going to see Converge in two days so fuck them all.

I don't want to piss on your fire (pun possibly intended) but isn't a forest fire an 'Act of God'?

this morning i pulled out a hair from the back of my head that was as thick as gauge .11 guitar string.
Now, my hair is pretty voluminous anyway, but this one, single strand of hair was just ridiculously thick and was also strangely rigid. It looked like something from the mane of a wild animal.
Am i turning into
Brundlefly?

Thanks noise&light, and that damned fly for your suggestions.
Smurf you in the face, BadComrade!

Adventures in working during the Summerim/Pre-College term at the university:
This morning, a student projectile vomited, repeatedly, for about 10 minutes. She's OK now.
Just now, a teacher asked me to call the health service on campus because one of her students is having a seizure.
I wonder what will happen in the evening session.
