Out after dark

It's kinda late over here. Just got back in from changing the battery on the car. Made the mistake of letting it sit out on the street for three weeks without so much as a glance in that direction. During those three weeks we got about a foot of snow and barely saw the top side of thirty degrees. So not only was my battery comatose, but the car is about half-way encased in frozen black snow rock. I think they were once contemplating adding this stuff to the table of elements, but it only occurs in New York, so they were waiting on corroboration.

I just popped over to Ben's journal. Interesting observation there about a homeless fella juxstaposed against the thoughts that hold the national mind captive. Sometimes those sorts of realities make me think that people should never leave their neighborhoods or watch what other people do for entertainment - unless it's one on one. Everything is ridiculus at a scope as big as the super bowl and the national budget.

Over-civilization and barbarism are within an inch of each other. And a mark of both is the power of medicine-men.
