It's Ramadan here. We had a vending machine downstairs. There was coffee. Chocolates. Soft drink. Red Bull and stuff to keep the boys going. Then people would get stuff out of it and would go to drink outside where the Data container is placed. and the smokers would smoke a fag and drink. No more. This afternoon, the building administration closed it down the machine and plastered up with newspaer. No more drinks. No more chocolates! No more Cappucino. Men they want us to die of hunger here!!

Ray responds: "It's good to hear from you. Yes, I'm still here. There's a Bill Murray film called "Groundhog Day" where a man gets caught in a time warp where every day seems like the last. I'm feeling much like that these days. I still pay way too much attention to politics, but I've recently concluded I ought to probably give it up. The news coming out of Washington, D.C. seems to be that we are an empire now, democracy be damned (except as a rhetorical flourish) and the corporations will rule the world. No doubt this will please Maurice Winn, and you'll probably continue to find work in exotic locations. But for me, the America I grew up in is lost to history. Time for me to find some fun new hobbies to amuse myself and be a good citizen by becoming invisible. <wink> All the best, Ray
