Sinister: hi, friends!

[clairk at xxx.edu]

It made sense to me that every building in this part of the country would 
have a basement in the event of dodgy weather conditions such as we're 
experiencing right now.  That was before I moved into my current apartment, 
which has no basement.  So here I am in the library waiting for these 
storms to pass so that I can go back home and not get swept away like so 
many little dogs named Toto.

I'm glad that people who were at Glastonbury have reported back! since we 
don't get too many huge festivals here in flyover country.  I spent part of 
that weekend being jealous, but I was in Wisconsin for most of it, and when 
you're in Madison there's too many restaurants around and too much food to 
eat to waste time on things like that.  Oh well.  Next year I'll be there, 
assuming I learn to control the world financial markets and drive the 
exchange rate down to like a hundred pounds to the dollar the night before 
tickets go on sale.  That'll show 'em!

I may not be going to Prospect Park to see the band, but I _am_ going to 
Cleveland to see Celtic and they're from Glasgow, so it's almost like the 
same thing.  And my seats for the football will be much better than where 
I'd be at for a concert.  And I get to ride roller coasters.  I think I get 
the better deal, personally.

Although I don't have anyone in specific that I'd like to request posts 
from, I would like to request posts in general, as I've recently discovered 
that I can get away with checking my e-mail at work and the afternoons are 
much more exciting when I switch over to the e-mail and it says I have a 
new message awaiting me.

Trucker hats?  I remember back in the day when I was in the third grade and 
didn't have any real baseball hats yet, and my dad would give me all his 
trucker hats with the names of herbicides on them that he'd get at farm 
shows in Iowa.  Those were old school.  I can't imagine these hats as being 
able to lend the "FFA chapter president" look that I was going for by 
wearing a trucker hat in the first place.  bah.  Maybe if they had a 
picture of a cornstalk on it.  But I don't think they have corn in 
Scotland.  You could prove me wrong if you'd like.  At any rate, when I hit 
my mid-life crisis and start driving sixteen-wheelers across the country, I 
think I'll stick with hats that say Monsanto on them.  I'll fit in better 
with the convoy that way.
