i'll be there, amigo...sitting in the mud (mud?...probably
snow!)...wondering if those big orange things in the middle of the field
are really the genetically altered orange habs like butch said...and too
lazy to get up and check on 'em myself...
am sure the jernigan/knoxville crowd will be there as well...and at
least two or three from the quincy il/iowa city/costa rica crowd..the
latter are pushing hard to get me to move down there (way) south of the
border...if that comes about, i will delay my departure until after OF...

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it
everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every
human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our
joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and
economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward,
every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant,
every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child,
inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt
politician, every "superstar", every "supreme leader", every saint and
sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust
suspended in a sunbeam.
