Halifax, 2004.01.26

I was enjoying a plate o' Korean foodcourt 'food' today when a fellow walked by who was clearing his throat. He'd had a tracheoddwordIcanneverremember, though, so when I say 'clearing his throat', I mean he pressed a kleenex to his throat, gagged something up, then looked at it on the kleenex. I looked up - at the sound - just in time to see what he'd produced.

I willed myself to continue eating, but cannot shake the sound/sight.

rand()m quote

The point isn't revenge. It is justice. Revenge is like a wave that washes up on shore - it always washes back out again. Justice is like the shore - it's still there after the wave comes and goes.

—commenter "JP" on a Rolling Stone article about the crooks running Wall Street
