This is someone's great idea. For five years you will get very little junk mail. Small-ish fee. Thirty percent of the fee is donated.
It could happen to you. You can sign up to learn when it's commercially available.
And I find myself glancing across the room at Arc D'X (not yet read) after reading this Steve Erickson interview (tho' I wish they'd redesign the site). But I just started Paint It Black.
I just noted that Heute-Journal had a piece on Doris Lessing (inre: Nobel Prize) and I realize I've never read anything of hers. My interest is somewhat piqued.
Caine and Law revisit the beautifully crafted movie first featuring Olivier and Caine? I do so look forward to Sleuth. (links to .mov, a bit slow to load)
I have called my representative. Doing something would be a good thing.
Reported in The Guardian
A ferocious squirrel went on the rampage in Germany this week, attacking three people before meeting its match in an angry 72-year-old.
Police in the southern town of Passau said the creature attacked a 70-year-old woman on Tuesday, sinking its teeth into her hand.It next entered a building site and jumped on a construction worker, injuring his hand and arm before he fought it off with a pole.
A police spokesman said the squirrel then finally met its end - but it didn't go down without a fight.
"The squirrel went into the 72-year-old man's garden and attacked him on the arms, hand and thigh," the spokesman said. "Then he killed it with his crutch."
He explained that experts thought the creature's behaviour could have been brought on by the mating season, or it could have been ill.
