US cities may have to be bulldozed in order to survive.

A snapshot of the Global Consciousness Project’s “Dot” shortly after the first reports of his death. Showing red, indicative of significant deviation from randomness, possibly coherence of thought. I expect this will be studied, as have previous deaths of mass mind significance.

The Lost Summer?

“Summer’s almost gone,
Summer’s almost gone,
Almost gone,
Yeah, it’s almost gone.
Where will we be
When the summer’s gone?

Morning found us calmly unaware,
Noon burned gold into our hair,
At night we swam the laughing sea
When summer’s gone, where will we be?
Where will we be?
Where will we be?”

Shorter days, I welcome thee.

Why not.

My favorite song from my favorite album when I was a boy. Then, at various times, one of the album’s first three songs was my favorite. But for the past several years, “Drowning Man” has been my favorite. The album, War, is still one of my favorites. Some things don’t change.

Looks like there never was an official video for the song. Too bad. This one from youtube sucks least. Unless you need a Lasik preview.

A little too close to Stephen King’s The Running Man for my blood.

Doesn’t help his case that in 1999 he sold some 415 tonnes of the UK’s gold, roughly half of all its reserves, at just about the exact bottom, between $250 and $300 an ounce. I like to think of it as the “Brown Bottom.”

Dipshit.
