Never trust a simple sentence, that's what I say.

now, then--that's a bit gross, doncha think? ...wait ...different people

interplanetary constant ...or even something to be avoided... awyea!
watch how my brain appears ear/rational.

The image I saw wasn't quite so organic, but since we are both in our own
little places, the fact we have been able to get this far in "objectively"
agreeing on a description of our environment has to say something
good^H^H^H^H.

I would agree with you more here, but I have seen too many people have
"heated conversations"--what my little sister calls two people who both
agree that abortion is just about the doorstep to hell and work each other
into a veritable tizzy doing it.
You are wrong, er... not Right.
and btw, my brain is /far/ too active right now--I've thought about adding
comments on how I chose what I commented on, on why I used so many '...'s,
on which methods detailed in Manip. 101 I have been using. If only I could
be like this all the time... sigh.... hope hope hope dreamy bliss...
sigh.... "I /just/ wish someone would come along and point out how I could
stay in this state of mind more often"... sigh
