(But this is Saturday!)

Shuddup. Dinni tell you there were going to be some changes around here?

By the way, thanks to Greyhawk for the traffic spike – practically everything is under the “read more” link, just in case that wasn’t sand-poundingly obvious.

Brad Pitt has apparently bought a house in neighboring Del Mar, and of course the Del Martians are all a-twitter. Some pretend to be unimpressed, others merely wonder what, if anything, this will do for property values. The local watering holes I suspect will see an up-tick in volume, as the curious attempt to see Brad (and Jennifer?) out tripping the light fantastic.

Which is a truly obscure metaphor, when you think about it.

Credo

"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me."

— John Paul Jones

"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature"

— George Bernard Shaw, Caesar and Cleopatra

"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."

— Friedrich Nietzsche

"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."

— Edmund Burke
