I have finished, to a certain extent, updating the 3rdarm with my Chicago material. The story is up and running, as are two photo galleries, all of which can now be found in the green box to the left of this text.
I got back from the Chi last week and spent a few days with my Aunt & Grandma to recuperate. Big ups to Ray Ray for his birthday and GL in Vegas to the Yaks. Happy July 4th to everyone else, including the team at NASA that fired the copper slug into that comet so successfully last night, in a mission called “Deep Impact.”
My good friend, who may be in trouble with the gubment for these views and so will be referred to as Deep Throat Impact, shared his thoughts with me that the whole mission last night was a ruse… that this is no simple, inexpensive test of our comet-handling technology, but the Real Thing. That the comet, the size of Manhattan, was actually going to hit Earth and perhaps kill most humans here. Its worth thinking about, right? In any event, though I spent many sleepless hours thinking it over last night, I will sleep easier now knowing that the gubment is taking the comet threat seriously. Because its a serious threat.
Needlessly I remind myself of how many Native American creation myths involve humans coming out of ice… More tonight.
