Stand and deliver, Syt.


"For you are a bold deceiver!"
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Archaeologists love dry summers, yes, but mainly because trenches are dry and excavation operations are way more comfortable than in a wet, soggy and miserable environment.

I kinda want to know what this image is from or about, but I also think I actually might prefer not knowing to preserve its weirdness.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Barcelona is going to test self-driven buses this autumn. Given how activist our public transportation trade unions are, this is going to go down well.

For now they'll test a very short trip (500m) in a low-traffic area. Then take it from there.
