I have become almost instinctively suspicious of any incident that seems to illustrate a systemic problem a bit too cleanly.

That's how I like it.  Public but not!

Simpler Tymes

i think a lot about that one spring break when my wisdom teeth got pulled out and i recovered w/ a bunch of coleridge plus those CD copies of "dummy," "radio ethiopia," and "court and spark" i bought from a flea market
