4/6/04: AND I HAVE TO LIVE HERE....PORTLAND (AP) - Pet
owners raced to buckle their pets, after a Portland radio station announced that motorists would be fined $150 if they were
caught driving with an unrestrained dog, cat or ferret.
Of course, this was reported on Thursday.
Of course, it was an April Fools' joke. "We had about 30 calls on it from people who wanted
to know if it was really true," said Barbara Baugnon, a spokeswoman for the Oregon Humane Society.
"We had people saying you would never be able to get their ferrets to sit still for
this."

3/23/04: MORE RUMI
There is some kiss we want with our whole lives, the touch of Spirit on the body.
Seawater begs the pearl to break its shell.
And the lily, how passionately it needs some wild darling!
At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face into mine. Breathe into me.
Close the language-door, and open the love-window.
The moon won't use the door, only the window.

3/22/04: There's a site called Zeta Talk that predicts a planetary shift. Now, they expected
this to happen last year, but I still wouldn't rule it out just because it hasn't happened yet. Just in case, this map
shows where everybody is going to end up after the earth gets pulled out of the sun's orbit by the gravitational field of
a passing planet, and actually stops rotating for a few days. I thought that if this were to happen, we would fall off
the earth out into space, but I'd rather play the safe bet here. As you can see from the map below, India and Australia are
out. Sunny Florida, the Keys & Bahamas will be up around the North Pole, so forget them. Scandinavia looks like a pretty
safe bet. You definitely don't want to end up right on the equator, though.

and thinking... Am I the only one who, upon hearing that someone they know has died, thinks now
that's just one more person who can see me take a bath.
