If life were a game of Civilization, the guy running New York would want to create some entertainers or raise the luxury rates or build a colloseum (providing it's a democracy), or in a less open kind of government quarter a few more garrisons.

It's heavy out there today, choppers in the skies and police vans in the streets. Things are apparently getting pretty hairy. I don't know what will be accomplished by all this, but the full accounting tomorrow will be interesting to see. I'm at The Tank where Air America has been broadcasting. Things are getting strange, man. They just threw on PBS's convention coverage and Ahnold's saying that Nixon is a breath of fresh air.

I've been struggling with my role as a pro in all this lately, but the going has certainly gotten weird, and as the Doctor would say, thus the weird must turn pro. My health is coming back and while things could be better, but the way forward is maybe becoming clearer.
