It was so damp today that I had to go to five street-side vending machines before I found one that worked. The coins were getting stuck, and at one point I thought I'd lost everything I'd fed in. It didn't seem to matter if it was an older model or something covered in LED's, it was the same.

rand()m quote

In the wake of 9/11, we [in America] have made the decision as a society that we can never again create something in which we can take pride, for fear that someone will destroy it. Moreover, we must suppress any trace of individualism, lest someone have the desire to rise above the bland sameness that protects us. I have, alas, no idea how to recapture our courage.
