THERE IS STILL A LOT GOING ON in the world, and every day, and many thoughts in my mind, and much moving through my heart. But I seem to have pulled back a bit, once again, from the flow of news and commentary. I'm sure it's like a circuit breaker to keep me sane.
I know that the odds of me being bodily assumed into heaven at my funeral are practically nil. Something around fifty or ninety billion to 2. Or did I forget about somebody? ((spoiler And no, Jesus of Nazareth doesn't count. He was off by forty days.))

From Voodoo folklore: "
According to popular belief [malefic sorcerers] do their nocturnal raids in motor-cars. A few years ago there was much talk in Port-au-Prince of a 'tiger car' (auto-tigre) which took people away at night to 'eat' them.
"
This tale anticipates the emergence of a horror film subgenre in the late 1970s in which malefic, possessed automobiles terrorize American communities....
Theodore Sturgeon famously asserted, “ 90 percent of everything is crud.” Those in our industry who reject the very concept of political advertising are guilty, I think, of condemning the category for the sins of that 90%. This is a common error. If you are inclined against any particular activity or endeavor, (pop music, video games, TV shows, advertising, whatever), there are oh so many easy targets...
