I'm feeling very distracted today and I'm not quite sure why.  It's tough to get much of anything done.

Maharaja Bhupendra Singh of Patiala (1670-1733)-365 wives
     Once said, "wine, fish, meat, alcohol and plenty of sex was good for the soul." A toweringly handsome Sikh with a colorful personality, he was famed for his sexual prowess and appetite and forever on the lookout for pretty women, even going so far as to kidnap them when they refused his overtures. Every evening he would light 365 lanterns around his palace, each with the name of one of his wives inscribed on it.
     The wife whose lamp went out first would be his for the night. For leap years, he'd take the night off.

Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923)—1,000
     A tireless French actress, Sarah went through more than 1,000 lovers in her colorful life, many of them famous writers and artists. She once observed, "It is by spending oneself that one becomes rich." Sarah often slept in a rosewood coffin lined with letters from her lovers.

And so I'm leaving
You can find out how much better things can get
And if it helps
I'd say I feel a little worse than I did when we met
(So when you find someone else
You can try again,
Might work next time)

Are Honda Civics the VW Bugs of the 90s? (Charles' suggestion.) They aren't that cheap, distinctive looking, quirky or home repairable, but there is some car karma in common.  Maybe *used* Civics do better at overcoming the gap set up by decades of difference in the auto industry.

My pilot now has a new memory card, thanks to my Mom's upcoming christmas gift. Like the heirloom axe that's had the handle replace twice and the blade replaced three times- but in this case it's the content that remains constent.

Just saw a subaru outback (the kind of car dave coveted) It struck me as odd, how long I hadn't thought of one.

Why are Walk signals designed to send pedestrians out into the street just as turning traffic wants to start to move? Did the designers forget about drivers turning?
