Folded Thought of the Day: Bundling up their re-calibrated instruments, the land surveyors are returning home after a job well done. Making tracks through the forests of historic evil. With pay stubs in their pockets, representing a small portion of their compensation. Months and months of careful measurements and exhaustive research, calculating the radiance of acceptable denial. Highly useful to certain members of The Society. Reveling in that moment of invisibility...in destructive tendencies, taken to whatever set of extremes the wind happens to be blowing tonight. False pretenses. Potential disturbances. All filed away at the edge of sudden awareness. Quite the efficient operation. Bringing new definition to creative bookkeeping. The territory has been marked and we'd all better be careful where we go stepping. The stakes have been lowered and the lines have been drawn. Certain realizations have been driven into the ground. No trespassing sign have been posted. Save your remembrances and bitter triumphs. There's no place for them around here. Did you take the opportunity to steal a moment of beauty? Did you beat them to the punch? We're all learning the all-important lesson, when you've got a shot you'd better take it. Cause it ain't gonna happen again. They're outlawing second chances on the new frontier. Locking up all the feeble attempts at resurrection. Tossing the perps into the drunk tank. Can't teach them old dogs the new tricks. Best to let them sleep it off. The brick layers have fulfilled their contracts. Doing their best to block out the sky and cover any exposed earth. Leaving plenty of nooks and crannies for the bugs to claim. And the exterminator is hanging out his shingle and advertising 24-hour house call service. Don't be concerned that the middle of the night has arrived, there will be someone available to take your call. Just have your credit card ready. ------------------------
