Cziltang wanders the trackless wastes in search of truth, beauty and personal enlightenment. He had tried to be self-sufficient, growing his own ideas, but they withered and died in the great intellectual drought that gripped the land in his youth. One day, as he gazed at the parched landscape around him, he realized that somewhere there must be ideas growing. Somewhere, rational discourse must still survive. Since that day, he has searched for a mythical land of fields and forests of living ideas. Now and again he finds a thought or two in the rubble of an occasional deserted outpost of civilization. Its a hard way to live and its not much of a life, but that's just how it is, out here in the Ratlands |

...with an accordion
link I was planning to write about "Concealed Carry" tonight. The Kansas Legislature is mucking about with a bill that would allow concealed carry. Given that this is only one of four states in the nation where under no circumstances can a private citizen legally carry a concealed weapon, it is something I've been following for several years. I had planned to write a fair amount tonight, but I ended up having to do other things, including fetching Rat, Jr. from work because her car suddenly developed the inability to retain liquid in the radiator. (I was actually quite surprised when I checked it, as I didn't know that 15 year old cars were allowed to have silver colored metal inside the radiator. I thought it was a law or something that they had to be that reddish-brown color...). And as usually happens when I have something I really want to get off my chest, real life interferes. So I'm sitting here at 2:00 in the morning getting ready to write rather than sleep and I noticed that its been a week and a half since I made a post and that was about installing the RSS feed. It struck me as sort of silly. Then I remembered something I saw a while back. If you go to www.google.com and enter "french military victories" in the search bar, then hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button, you get this page. If you follow the link, you get to this page at a website called albinoblacksheep.com. Down near the bottom of the page is this quote: "Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordion. All you do is leave behind a lot of noisy baggage." The reason I thought of this is that it seems to me that (to paraphrase the quote) me putting an RSS feed on this site is sort of like deer hunting with an accordion. Make of it what you will. I'm going to bed. by CziltangPosted: Monday, April 05 2004 01:54:00 AM |
