Words

A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it's better than no inspiration at all.

~Rita Mae Brown
Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust movement.

~Alfred Adler

Local Color

You start to get the feeling that your work proximity to the town loony-bin is far too close for comfort on the day you drive out of the parking lot on a 20 degree day (70 for you 'mercans) and pass a girl walking down the sidewalk wearing a glaring white shorty ultra-puffy zipped-up-to-the-chin PARKA, slippers and charming tight black underwears which she has to pull DOWN every five steps.

I didn't stick around to see if anyone knew she was missing, they're on top of that usually and I skipped the mandatory 'tackle a patient' training. But I did think, "there but for the grace of god go i", send a thankful smile in the general direction of myriad dietys and faeries, before taking a right at the light and heading home.
