A couple of meditations, not per se a reply.

You go Will. (and that's not part of the meditation.) Godspeed.

Meditation #1: For the past four or five years, including walking

trips to Paris, Rome, and London, my wife has complained that I

always veer to the left (it's the left hip that's damaged). What

finally told me that I had to get something done about the hip was

the realization that, as the hip got worse, I'd keep walking to the

left until I'd eventually be walking in counterclockwise

circles...and the circles would get smaller until my spin rate

increased to the point that light would not escape the gravitational

pull generated by my spin, and I would become TA DA... A black

hole. (But a very hip one.)

Meditation #2: Everybody who gets a resurf gets a body artifact that

might outlive them by hundreds of years. Two thoughts arise from

this: First, perhaps we should have our resurf devices recycled, so

some one else can get the benefit; and Second... Imagine a thousand

years from now, when even our bones are dust... a visiting

civilization finds just a few gold crowns from our mouths and these

odd looking metal ball-and-socket devices... How would their space

botanists imagine us to look?

Just odd thoughts on a wasted afternoon, waiting to hear from the

health insurance company that never calls.

Hobble on, hippies...
