Whoa--the American Bar Assn just delivered a letter to Grassley/Feinstein urging them to hold off on a confirmation vote for Kavanaugh until the FBI can look into Dr. Ford's claims.

"Technical problems are hard, but people problems are harder."

Do you hear this a lot? I hear it *everywhere* these days. I'm probably even guilty of saying it once or twice, despite the fact that it annoys the bejeezus out of me.

"Hello! Do you have a minute to talk about Dracula?"
"No- wait, Dracula?"
"Yes!"
"You're vampires?"
"Yes. We have pamphlets."
"Vampires have missionaries?"
"Where else would new vampires come from?"
"I assumed you bit people."
"There are many hurtful stereotypes. May we come in?"

A temple that does the same thing with sound that cathedrals do with light: Different notes wherever you go, entire spaces audible if you're in the right place, a whirligig in the form of a boiling rose sounding like wind in the leaves of a brass tree
