Observations 3
Driving on the interstate is a lot less interesting than driving on highways.
There is no swirling energy vortex at the end of I-40. I always thought there would be when I was a kid.

Progressives should pay serious, and respectful, attention to romance fiction, for two reasons:
First, as I hope to convince you – or seduce you into believing :-) - below, romance itself is a fundamentally progressive activity. If you take romance seriously, and don’t denigrate it just because patriarchy says you should (more on that, later, too), then you’ve got to take romance fiction seriously, since it’s a major expression of romance – not to mention, romance’s usual wonderful destinations, love and sex - in our culture. More than a quarter of all books sold in the U.S. are romance fiction, and more than 64 million Americans read at least one romance novel each year [source: Romance Writers of America, RWA]. Romance fiction is an enormous part of American culture, and an important transmitter of values.
Q: Are there any ethical issues about cloning?
A: No.
Last week I had the strangest dream
Where everything was exactly how it seemed.
Where there was nothing eldritch written on
The pages of the Necronomicon; it was
Just a dream that was causing dread
In the mind of Abdul Alhazred. He
Wrote it down, and his visions were remembered
On cold days at Miskatonic in November.
Don't wake me, I plan on sleeping in...
Again last night I had that strange dream
Where everything was exactly how it seemed.
No sense any doom was approaching;
No ancient horrors lurking under the ocean.
Where Earth had never been the abode of a shoggoth,
A Yithian, or a fungus from Yuggoth.
Where nothing bubbled at the cosmos's center,
And only rain fell on Arkham in November.
Don't wake me, I plan on sleeping in...
I hope tonight I have that same dream
Where everything is exactly how it seems.
Where asking questions makes the answers seem plainer,
And seeking knowledge only makes you feel saner.
Not having money doesn't make you so helpless,
And politicians are attentive and selfless.
They tell the cops to just punish the offender,
So we can live happily in November.
Don't wake me, I plan on sleeping in...
