"What I want to say is this: - If you logically try to persuade a person that there is no absolute reason for shedding tears, the person in question will cease weeping. That's self evident. Why, I should like to know, should such a person continue doing so?"

"If such were the usual course of things, life would be a very easy matter," replied Raskolnikoff.

Those cool things in life I was talking about the other day

Sitting here, reading blogs because blogs can sometimes be more fun than books, and listening to the roar of the fireworks. Sounds like thunder. I saw flashing out of the corner of my eye and looked to the building kitty-corner to me and at first I thought I was seeing the flashes of many cameras go off. Turns out I was seeing the reflection of tonight's luminary spectacle reflected in their windowpanes. Cool, eh?
I can hear a lot of people (those that are south/south west facing) out on their balconies having fun and enjoying the display. It's nice.
Kind of a funky experience to be involved in, albeit in a solitaire and east-facing way.
I ate too many wasabi peas.
