      "It's an absolute sin to accept the decadence of obsolescence. Why do things get worse and worse? They don't have to. They could get better and better. We accept that things fall apart, but they don't have to."

      "Strictly speaking, there's no such thing as invention, you know. It's only magnifying what already exists. "

      "We eat when we're not hungry, drink when we're not thirsty. We buy what we don't need and throw away everything that's useful. Why sell a man what he wants? Sell him what he doesn't need. Pretend he's got eight legs and two stomachs and money to burn. It's wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. "

      "The people in New York live on pet food and they'll kill you for a quarter. You don't dare take a walk for fear of someone sticking a knife in your ribs. Think about it. If you stay home, they come in through the windows! Ten year old homicidal maniacs on every street corner. They go to school! Hah! They go to school! "

      "Right now, someone in America is pushing an electric squeezer down a garbage disposal and saying it's busted. Someone else is opening
      a can of chocolate-flavored soup, because the car wouldn't start to eat out. They really wanted a cheeseburger."
      Well, maybe I WILL just keep telling myself that.

        Oh ECONOMIC depression.

        So nice of the world to catch up.

        I'm stealing soil from next door, I hope our house doesn't fall into the hole.

          Allie Fox

          "Admit it," Allie Fox told his son Charlie. "This is better than school."

          If Allie was here, he would not panic or pout. He would worry like the rest of us - he liked to worry - but he would not stand around waiting for someone to show him the way.

          He'd grab his machete and clear a path. He'd pull the brim of his cap down over his eyes to cut the glare, and he'd blaze a trail.

          He'd turn off the radio, ignore the TV, and do what had to be done. That's why he was Allie.

          And that's why - when push comes to shove - I like to think he's still here.

                Wow, Lee. I'm sorry to hear about the situation in Iceland.

                I was recently in Nanjing, China, for the Clown Carnival. Feeling the vibe of that country has definitely made me consider looking towards Singapore this winter..


                ...failing that, I guess it's time to pack up and ride the rails..
