Already, my phone's been ringing several times a day, but no message is left. It couldn't be related to the campaign, could it? So early?

I'd rather have Hare Krishnas knocking at the door. They, at least, would have had to climb the stairs. I might even offer them a cup of tea. (HKs, PLEASE don't take that as an invitation. Thank you.)

Bill Clinton was in my town Wednesday night. I would have gone to see him but I had a previous engagement that I thought would be much more fun. I was scheduled to do a root canal on myself. Unfortunately my Black &Decker drill blew a fuse and I couldn't do it. Oh well...

If you're in a more contemplative mood, then this article from Economist might stir your interest:


The germ of an idea
Some people are more prone to infection than others. One answer could be to dose them with the molecules that their immune systems cannot make

A look into the future 100 years.......from 1900.

They kind of got a lot of things right; others, not so much.

John, I was impressed... then while watching I noticed Jet-man in the youtube sidebar.

What a show by Yves Rossy. Flight with a high tech wing with four jets strapped on his back (the wings fold up on his back before he lands).

Real good look at the equipment in this clip.

Commenting on Dean's World is a privilege, not a right. Dean is your host, you are his guest, and you should behave in that fashion. Dean is not your babysitter, nor is he your punching bag. Please remember this. In general, you are free to disagree with anyone on any subject you wish, but abusive behavior will not be tolerated.

Of course we all lose our tempers now and then. Dean freely admits to being imperfect in this regard, which is why regulars to this establishment will generally be cut more slack than people who we don't know very well.

Still: behave like an adult, or go find somewhere else to play. Thanks.
