Another Somewhat Close Mate Call With a Black Swan

Dedicated to Mak, who, despite possessing full sobriety and maximum wakefulness, had a brief run-in with a stray:No, no, I wasn't there, but he drove out of my driveway approximately ten minutes prior. The details were related considerably later, when I felt like turning my cell phone on after a week or so. Luckily, he didn't disturb my easy going evening. Or my following day. And so on.


Highly recommend the latest Long Now Seminar on Long-term Thinking. The speaker is the highly controversial Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Give it a go. It's academia except you can turn it off.

Here's to a birthday shared via telepathically between roomies born the same, this very day. Ah, the strange, twisted horns we wear as capricornicopias.

Quarter-century shoutout to all the peeps who can't yet rent vehicles, and a sagely nod to those who can't afford to.



Thanks everyone! A quiet, calm day was had, beginning at 4:30 this morning and ending fairly soon.

Cheers, whatever you raise!
