Right now it's all quiet outside,
but I suspect that won't last the day.
So today,
after you have read The Constitution,
but before you hand over your beer and say, “Watch this!” please remember to be careful.
I would hate for this to happen to you:
“So the weather report states thunderstorms for the Fourth.”
“Oh! At night?”
“Mostly the afternoon and ending around 8:00 pm.”
“Darn!”
“Oh, expecting to get out of walking to the Boca Raton fireworks show?”
“No.”
“No?”
“No. I was hoping our neighbor wouldn't blow us all up!”
It sounds like Desert Storm outside.
I guess the threat of thunderstorms wasn't enough to deter the neighbor.
Sigh.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
