a sober warning

[metaphorge]

I have many friends that live or work in Mountain View, California. I fear that they are unaware of the menace that waits and watches them as they go about their business each day....

Let's hope those squirrels stay put. They might come to my town and get ideas.

My subconscious just attempted to rewrite the opening paragraph of War of the Worlds.

No one would have believed in the beginning of the twenty-first century that the city parks of Mountain View, California were being watched keenly and closely by intelligences more minuscule, primal, and hungrier than man's and even more fleetingly mortal than his own; that as the people of Mountain View busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied...:-P

The black squirrels that emanate from the Stanford campus are indeed evil.

Hee hee...

Yet from the low branches of the nearest trees, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of God and the angels of Heaven, intellects small, skittish, frantic, and viciously ravenous, regarded our bagels and sandwiches with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us. And early in the twenty-first century came the great disillusionment.

...

Perhaps I should work on the middle.:-) I'm stumped on what to do with the infusoria parts.

Makes you wonder what they were really up to at SRI....

And it can't be coincidence that the squirrels in that new animated film seem more like football hooligans ("Oi Oi OI!") than anything else...

Small, furry, acorn-hucking football hooligans...

You've been on my list a while, so we should fix that. Do you drink coffee?

I bet that squirrel was looking for nuts.

I don't drink coffee but I do drink tea :) And it has been my experiene that most coffee shops do indeed sell tea as well ;)
