the real lettuce
sometimes the cafeteria serves real lettuce.
not that mass produced, shredded, wouldn't have
any nutrients if you smothered it in vitamins stuff.
sometimes the internet serves real lettuce.
not that mass produced, carbon copy, wouldn't
have any content if you shoved an encyclopedia into the disk drive stuff.
sometimes i find the real lettuce.
before i get something else.
sometimes i don't.
not that i'm bitter.
Tracking planes.
if i want to get away for a vacation,
i have to fly across the country.
last, my fiancee and i
were going out to washington
(the state with scenery and rain,
not the city with crime and smog)
and we had a connector in st. louis.
do not go to st. louis if it is raining.
they will delay you
and then you will miss your flight
which is bad because food is very expensive in
airports.
($.75 for a bruised apple)
we finally got on a flight on standby,
but our didn't know when to pick us up
until we called from seattle.
so we ended up sleeping in PDX
(that's portland international)
until 4 a.m.
PDX is not a happening place at 4 a.m.
the good new is
that now you can check on flights
and see when they are taking off
and where they are five minutes ago.
so if you are supposed to pick me up at the airport
you'll know where i am.

Cricket chirping.
I am a cricket researcher.
Which means that I study crickets.
I am trying to find out if the neurons
in the brain
that we say do stuff
do stuff.
which is called circuit analysis.
it involves some electronic equipment
pvc tubing
some virgin female crickets
and a bit of patience.
i finally found the neuron i am looking for
L3
after trying for a year and three months.
not bad.
here's a bunch of stuff about cricket neurobiology.
but our crickets aren't exactly the same.
it's a long story.

intraspecific communication
hockey like the old days.
before there was hockey in places
where there is no snow,
people used to sit around their radios
and listen to hockey games.
because standing got tiring.
and t.v. didn't exist.
it was hard to see the puck,
but people had better imaginations.
so they could visualize things
without having to have someone make pictures
in their head
for them.
now the internet is here
and it's real hard to transmit video
because it come out choppy and looks
quite silly.
but now there's radio.
and there's hockey.
even if it is in florida.
