I saw in their eyes something I was to see over and over in every part of the nation--a burning desire to go, to move, to get under way, anyplace, away from any Here.

--Travels with Charley, John Steinbeck
How perfectly goddamned delightful it all is, to be sure.

Try anything once, except Incest and Morris dancing.

Worryingly Linzi Drew used it as the title of her kiss and tell.

It would have to be from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. "He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man." It sometimes feels like the truth.

*Dig a well before you are thirsty.

*Treat your password like your toothbrush. Don't let anybody else use it, and get a new one every six months.

OK so I can't count.

A cynical man knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. Oscar Wilde. I drove a cab in Las Vegas
for 22 years. I posted Oscar's quote just above my cab permit. Did Oscar's quote loosen any purse strings?
I doubt it, but I appreciate the company.
