I took the dive and entered the Great Debate...not the one about Perpetual Motion/Free Energy (by the way, I bought one and just have to get...

New computer, going to try Second Life again
National Public Radio (American, that is) has a site there now, who knows who else does? I've chatted with one of our number there, anyone else have an avatar?

Is it just my imagination or are we all harboring sick pets?
When I was young, our pets would be healthy; maybe get a little sick now and then, but would shortly succumb if it was serious. My newlywed wife and I sunk a few hundred dollars into saving our first two cats (1974 prices, and working for near minimum wage)from distemper. They lasted another fifteen...
