What is the point when lasting through is for nothing more than the right to a place in the boat that drifts on an empty sea long after the drama has played itself out, unless Bokononism contains the final truth. see the Cat? See the Cradle? (Great post, btw)

Hi Yorikke....... that darn Jorj.......always ready to steal my thunder..... I had picked up on your Ice 9 referrence, it had such a major impact that if you look at the publishing company of the GREATFUL DEAD, you will notice that ice 9 is the name of the company that publishes and presumably has trade markets on their lyrics... it is of course.... a seminal referrence from the author Kurt Vonnegut's .....most likely ..... most acclaimed Novel his 1963......Cat's Cradle...... (fot those that want the reader lite cliff notes version....ice nine was an invented isotope of water, that when mixed with any water would cause it to freeze....put a bit in the local stream and it would spread all the way out to the ocean.. and then transfer to all the oceans.. and then travel back to all the streams and triburtaries.....This freezing all the water on the planet) Tom is way to wiley for me........ and he has this endearing quality of being "Johnny on the Spot" and always there for a key grub....... or to steal one's thunder..... I had the supreme pleasure of speaking with him via.... this really old fashioned device.... some call it a phone for 5 minutes a couple of weeks ago before his simply lovely wife Lisa, came out and reminded him of his early start time the upcoming friday morning...... since he is in LA and was talking about driving down to San Clementine and I believe somewhere on the outskirts of San Diego.....I did not get to hear as to how that panned out as that was the Friday..... where the Former LAPD officier and Navy man...... went on his Police Killling spree. it appeared that the Police had erected checkpoints .....all over the place and that it would have been quite hard to navigate...... ther roadways in Southern California c'est la vie, John
