Hi Sage. So do you think summer is finally here? I'm a couple hundred miles south of you I think, and it finally hit a hundred degrees. Dog days.

Me, I've just been trying to alert people as delicately as I can to the fact that the barrel is pressed against the back of our heads and the hammer is cocked. But you know...folks want to talk about Bonnie Prince Billy and Schwarzenegger and such. And the marvelous new GPS systems. So I bark every once in a while. It's getting harder for people to deny the obvious, though. The old 'tin-foil hat' routine...'scuse me. That always makes me chuckle. Cops in black ski masks everywhere now, hovercraft/chips/cameras gonna police us, and people are still saying 'tin-foil hat kook' like some kind of rosary. The power of denial.

Hope all is well with you. Stay cool.
