Year: 2003
Dream
Posted on June 8, 2003 in Dreams
Something loose in the mind: I’m walking with many others in the future. The next stage of evolution has happened: there are now predators (other than people) on the human species. A man cries “suckies!” Large pods appear in the sky and dozens of slugs burst from them. Everyone runs for the cover of a modern building. I see those who have run with the crowd falling as the slug things attach. I realize that it is not wise to move with them because the suckies act statistically: they land where there is the greatest probability of finding food.
I run through many deserted parts of town or places where everyone has locked his door, looking with others for a hospital where the suckies have not yet come, one which will open its door and shelter people like me.

Mockingbird Nest

I wandered into a blog where a conversation about a mockingbird nest was going on recently. I’ve lost the address. Does anyone know where this is?

I propose a constitutional amendment — to both the state and federal constitutions — that would prevent the memorialization of any individual in the name of any government property for a period of fifty years following their death.

>Cheri: Hey, Joel. That’s a nice sweater you’ve got on. Where did you get it?
Turning away from the Door

I didn’t go through that door. I turn and ran as hard as I could into the chaparral. There was better material there.
