I might think about what the bees, crows and rabbits are up to, and do
some cross-lawn trajectory management There's what appears to be a
coyote or fox path across the back lawn. I'll prolly take a look at it
during a cool off session. Plus I'm working out a floor plan for a
circuit board - that'll likely bubble up a time or two.

There's a hurricane coming. I need animals that know the drill, not
inexperienced west Canada doofus critters that'll charge around making a
bloody mess of things.

No, no, not Rogov!

( In both the last cases, somebody got hyp-mo-tized by
visual Goedel sentences from the Instrumentality...
Shayol, on the other hand, is... um... largely composed of squick,
at lest arguably )

Shayol has the double-dealing of the empire and the instrumentality,

Me neither...

Well *I* didn't let it stop me.

This brings the team score to the square root of Pi, while the
opposing score remains at a crudely drawn picture of a duck.
Clearly it's still anyone's game.

You could say that Shayol rested on a sound footing.

HAY. I'm Allowed to, here (for values of "here" equal to one-third).

Besides, the image; Underpersons infected with Zombie-ism, all in
Bozo kit.

Oh, I have wayback during my Young Adult daze. It was kinda like the
Long Island Iced Tea of SF for me; not quite what I was expecting from
the title(s), presciently kibological, and deceptively potent.

Unlike LIIT, for me the Instrumentality stories had a distinct,
constant melancholc undertone.

Also, I kept mispronouncing "C'Mell" in my head.

If this works out I next want to see
Shikhee play Dominique Alia Wu

This is part of the eternal wonder of the universe
as man forages out to discover in the womb of time
the nascence of his individuality in the motherhood of possibility.

If you live(d) on Long Island you *need(ed)* your iced tea fortified.
