For the 'scale and relativity' file - another example of the Real Cost
of all those cheap gizmoes from WalCoscoTargetMart - and their Euro
mega-brethren. And, just in time: have we dizzyingly precise new means
of tagging worldwide pollution to its sources.. kinda like the little
numbered tags in explosives.
Heh.. ship off containerloads of all those obsolete 6 mo. old computer
toys and still-OK but not-Slim-enough monitors;
see the boards burned in open air, for the trace gold flashing: get the
carcinogens anyway, by Fed-Ex aerosol delivery. Karma lives.
So then.. just how many impending near-Terminal catastrophes can the
jelloware er, multi-task?
In other news - noted a deer family, couple of yearlings.. casually
strolling past the front of the house, in a light drizzle.
They froze, natch {Oops.. look first} apparently decided I had no
obvious gatling gun or other infernal 'sports' device - continued
meandering. They were obviously sane. How are we?
