In a time when humor is sorely lacking, I found [url=http://cgibin.rcn.com/fillmore.dnai/cgi-bin/sviewer.pl?selectdate=3/26/03]this comic amusing. [url=http://www.doonesbury.com/strip/dailydose/index.cfm?uc_full_date=20030323&uc_comic=db&uc_daction=X]Then last Sunday’s [i]Donnesbury[/i] tickled a funny nerve. Wasn’t much of a good day. Near as I could tell, the news is the same material, recycled, and I’m not happy, either way. I spent most of the evening wrestling with computer code … Funnies

For some years now, Bubba Sean’s been telling me about his childhood accomplice, a long-time friend of his who is now employed by the Austin Police Department. While I was working in East Austin, I noticed two squad cars picking up a guy, so I ambled over and inquired, just see if I could be … Rainy blues

Dear Judge Smith: Enclosed please find a copy of a ticket I received on March 24, 2003, in a little cove on Lake Bastrop. The ticketing officer suggested that if I were to provide you with a copy of the ticket and a copy of my valid Texas Parks & Wildlife Resident Fishing Permit, you … Ticket

Sunday night, or maybe it was Monday morning, I had another one of those exciting dreams. My nocturnal trips, while my body is sleeping, have been quite entertaining lately. Lucid at points, lots of action and adventure, and some disappointing events, too. I can write it all off to Uranus in Pisces, but then, I … Dreamland

Bombing the bejeebers out of Baghdad worries me a bit. It was the cradle of civilization, as we knew it, at one time. And they did do a lot of astrology. But I’m avoiding all that for a day. I don’t want to think about it. It hurts. There’s a business model that I’ve been … Avoiding war: Business questions

5. By now, just about everyone has read [url=http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,58056,00.html]this article. Doesn’t come as any big surprise, does it? 4. I danced around the topic of war and such all afternoon. I had one of those entirely pleasant readings with a pair of sisters. What was so odd, the girl who set it all up, going … Friday Five?

When I was on foot through a parking lot, heading towards my temp job, I saw bumper sticker. It said, “one nation under God.” I just wanted to scratch a little letter “s” on the tail end of that, just to reflect my current beliefs. About an hour north of Austin, there’s Ft. Hood. Huge … Tangents – reductio ad absurdum

“We’re going to war.” Or maybe, the bombs started raining down by the time this is posted. Yesterday took a turn for the better when I ran into Leslie the cross-dressing homeless mayoral candidate. “Hey Leslie, that a beeper?” “Just because I’m homeless doesn’t mean I don’t have to stay in touch, you know, my … We’re going to war

Tranquility Alternative by Allen Steele [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0441004334/fishinguideto-20]Tanquility Alternative by Allen Steele. The copyright on my first edition is 1996, at least that’s what I recall from last night. In the author’s thanks, he goes back as far as 1994. There’s a subservient scene, a subplot, really, that I kept recalling. I finally got tired and pulled … Tranquility Alternative
