If word about this spreads, I predict a cat holocaust. UPDATE: One implication of brain parasites controlling behavior: “Don’t drink the orange juice. It’s full of good little worker bee parasites.” Another: Our personalities result from complex interactions among the various brain parasites we have acquired over the years. “We need to starve the...
Last week, I was tipped off to theespressobar.org, an homage to the place in which I spent my early twenties. (Mouse around a bit to wade through the maps and discover the eBar within.) Twenty minutes ago I got an email from somebody I spent a lot of my teens with. He said he...

I’m teaching figures of speech this week and I asked my students to finish some incomplete sentences to make metaphors. Unfinished sentence number one was “The moon is ….” The quiet student in the back wrote, “The moon is a mouse’s dream.” He got an A for the day.
Two blocks closer to Wilshire and work I find the most remarkable stash ‘hidden’ on top of a phone company transfer box.
