I became insane with long intervals of horrible sanity. Edgar Allen Poe
The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. - H. L. Mencken Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so -Bertrand Russell What I have been telling you, from alpha to omega, what is the one great thing the sigil taught me — that everything in life is miraculous.

August 29, 2013 - 11:22 a.m. I was struck by tragedy yesterday. Here is the sad tale. I made a shopping expedition to Fairway. I wanted some sausage to make soup. They often have interesting homemade ones. They didn't. I had to settle for packaged andouille. When I'm there I always check for fun things. I got cashew butter. I also check for Fox's U-Bet. They theoretically carry it but never have when I checked. a month ago I bought seltzer to make egg creams but have not been able to find U-Bet. I kept resisting buying Trader Joe's Chocolate Moo, I wanted the real thing. It isn't an egg cream without U-Bet. So look what I found this trip! I signed the Pro-Truth Pledge: please hold me accountable.
