Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Just a heads up but if you're thinking of pranking a friend tomorrow by telling them the governor ordered the liquor stores closed - that's not a funny April Fool's joke - it just means you're an ass...

Hopefully a silver lining to this situation will be that "close-talkers" are finally going to get the message to back their ass out of our personal space... Speaking of pranks - pretty sure nobody would do this today... PornHun would be a good name for a Ghenghis Khan sex fetishist website... "The real act of discovery consists not in finding new lands, but in seeing with new eyes." - Marcel Proust...
