They caught some of those friends of Steve who escaped from jail in Texas. Aparently it was again video footage from that great service to mankind, AMERICAS MOST WANTED that gave them away. An eye whitness last night on the news who had spotted them in a RV park said : "One guy had dyed his hair blond and wore dark sunglasses another had dyed his hair red from here (pointing to just above his own left ear) up. They looked like perfectly regular people. You'd never have guessed it was them."
So, in order to fit in in America and stay stealthy, dye your hair a funny color !
Since there seems to be a lot of religious fervor in the air I want to mention that I'm doing the good Samaritan thing, not exactly, and have called a guy ('s wife actually) and told him, (or her actually) that "I found what appears to be the contents of your glovebox," behind a house I'm renovating on Rocheblave (yep, still at it), and she was so happy, although I could not initially figure out why because I assumed the paperwork I had collected meant the car had been stolen, but no, just the contents of the glovebox. The guy (and his wife?) live not far from here, I'll expose them and say they live in the 3300 block of Esplanade, which is around the corner but a completely different world, nice, in it's more affluent way, and that just makes me reflect fervently, which is my nature, on how that's one of the things here that makes the magic that people talk about (or is it just me that talks about it?), I mean the demographic striation of this place, which is scary (or that should be "fascinating"), if you pause to think about it, and what else am I going to do. Anyway, I am online with a single phone line and am realizing only now what my hesitation meant when the wife asked me could her husband call me on his way home from work at this number and I said, "yes" but not very convincingly. I knew I might be busy, what with the development of a new lethal religious product, and the delivery of this crap, which I must consider of utmost importance--cuz look at me go on about it.
maybe i got my virus from the tree. lets see. where is the flu raging?
Earthquake?
I think I actually felt this. I was getting ready for work this morning, at exactly the indicated time, and I registered (heard? felt? hard to say) a jolt. I thought it was something hitting the roof, having been thrown from the building next door. That does happen, but the timing was odd, and it felt different somehow. Now I know why.
can you profess to want to abolish private property and at the same time lay claim to a trademark of a name without it being paradoxical? even if you offer that name for use so long as it is not defamed in the process? i need answers people!!
Forgotten New York looks interesting in a Luc-Sante / Ken-Burns-New-York sort of way.

ABC is debuting the latest "reality" series tonight: The Mole. Personally, I'm waiting for the celebrity version.

at eight 'o' clock up on 27th (#?) st at a hotel theater and is only $5.00. I forgot the card this am. with the address but will post it here tomorrow am. It is being hosted by Niki Carson. Remember him ? He was was a punk artist who made a portrait of Andy Warhol by putting a paintbrush in his but and sketching his likeness in reverse. It was a live sitting. The painting was included in a PUNK-ART show at the Mud Club *BUT* was stolen when the show traveled to Washington DC.
Nice picture Alex.
'One audio clip produced from radio waves that NASA's Cassini spacecraft detected near Jupiter was described last week by the Los Angeles Times as sounding "like a troop of howler monkeys battling underwater." '
'The waves from which the new audio clip was developed were in the thin solar wind of charged particles that fills the space between the Sun and its planets. Cassini detected the waves Jan. 1 at a distance of 10 million kilometers (6.2 million miles) from Jupiter. ' from the jpl, nasa.
We're trying to get a little dinner together for tonight. Mark is in town. Originally we thought the soon to be departing El Teddys was our spot, but now we're thinking of chinese (GSI uptown branch.) Any thoughts? comments? How about 7:30?

When I was at my sister's house for Christmas, some of my familly was commenting that they liked my new page design because it was easier to read. When I saw one of their machines I realized why, they use a fairly low resolution (something in the 800 x 600 vicinity.) I know my mother uses this same resolution. Even on a 17 inch monitor this leaves little screen real estate to work with. Add in all the side and top menu bars that Windows brackets you with and the situation is even worse. Some of our pages are reduced to very narrow columns of text snaking down the right hand side of the browser window. Since most of us don't have lots of links on the left hand side (which I guess was the point of all that space - I mean beside the fact that I like a little blank space on a page) maybe we should have the main text take up most of the page. On a big monitor at a higher resolution this can make the text column too wide (of course you can just make the browser window smaller to fix this,) but for most people it is probably better. I've noticed some other bloggers moving toward this style. Like the queen of bloggers herself, megnut.
This sort of cosmetic change is very very simple. Let me know if anyone has any thoughts on this.
Is it snowing yet?
Now I don't want to nag, but be sure to write a thank you note to Jim, for gifting us with this tree-place in cyberspace. It's now a bit more than a year old, and come a long way in that time. It's certainly meant a lot to me. Thanks Jim, for all your love and work here. (Just don't lose my posts again, OK?)
