And tonight is my very lucky night. According to a website I just visited looking for news about bright lights and an explosion heavily reported along the Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina coasts last night. (probably a meteor or "space junk)" according to preliminary reports), I am the 100,000th visitor from Mebane to visit one site, which might entitle me to all kinds of free things and a million dollars, or at least a new laptop, if only I will click on the loudly flashing green and red box.

That's pretty impressive considering the population of Mebane is about 10,000, and probably no more than 70% of it's households have computers, so, how many households equals a population of 10,000? Generously, 4 to 6,000?

But I'm feeling unlucky and very unsubliminal tonight, so will forego clicking on the beautitiously flashing box.

As for the lights and bang, I suspect Gluon was chasing a quarkish, quarrelsome cat, who turned and nailed him when it had enough.
