- Instead of filling Mark's mailbox with any more of this tepid psychoranting
- I'll instead shove it upon you, the gentle readers of the various newsgroups
- so named, and see what you think. There have been several things on my mind
- recently, and I think they need to come to light (or Mite, as wee shall see).
-
- Alpha. I am going blind, and have recently been informed that because of my
- selection of 4-pica fonts for each and every terminal, workstation, and
- teletype that I work at during the day that my eyes are slowly elongating and
- producing multiple focal points, thus requiring me to get glasses.
-
- The lesson here, kids, is to use large screen fonts, even though they're
- annoying. But that's beside the point.
-
- Beta. There are too many Blood Mites in the North American continent. I think
- that we need to look at this phenomenon more closely as we rush headlong into
- the 21st century, because along with an overpopulation of Blood Mites there
- is sure to be somewhere an underpopulation of blood, a supply-and-demand
- situation where the only winners are God and the dust from which we came. In
- other words, as the Blood Mite position in North America grows stronger, the
- ever-present supply of blood for said mites to feed upon will have to slowly
- diminish. This is a problem.
-
- And, Europe, don't think you're not vunerable, too. Blood Mites can and will
- travel on boats and indeed aircraft up to 30,000 feet. An infestation is at
- hand.
-
- Iota. If anyone tries to tell me that "Gamma" was really supposed to come next
- I will be upset.
-
- I'm completely open to suggestions on what we can do about the named cruxen
- above, and possibly some recipe ideas for my new Chia Herb Garden from the
- good folks over at alt.pets.chia.
-
- Thanks!
