Interesting/Neat

 


The Pentagon is the largest administrative building in the world. If you pogo sticked down all its hallways, one wing at a time, it would be the same distance as crossing all the bridges that span the rivers of Pennsylvania.*

I've found a fast-food restaurant where I can read, write and feel comfortable and it's like the soft roll on the sandwich I order inspires me and permits me to do some good thinking - like Richard Brautigan did on the #49 bus crossing through San Francisco's hills, like David Byrne sings about in "Cities" when gets to the part about the dry ice factory.

Neoliberal go-go capitalism is finishing off the historic buildings of Bucharest even faster than authoritarian communism did. But let's face it: They both suck.

*(I made that last part up).
