silveradeptThere was actual work done today, hopefully productive, and tomorrow there will be actual work done as well. I hope. The break is approaching, perhaps a bit faster than I anticipated. Maybe it's not staring down a gamut of papers that's done it for me. Negotiations of many things to be done tomorrow, including possibilities for telephones, suits, and other such fun things. This week is not on cruise control by any means, but it is finally shaping up into something acceptable.
Another success of Minitrue, we are pleased to report. The department of Houston has made a plusgood decision and decided to install cameras that will monitor for all forms of crime. We are pleased to report this to you.
On almost the other end of the spectrum, apparently one of the perks of Congress is a free subscription to some adult magazines, courtesy of people like Larry Flynt. Of course, it probably gets swiped by the aides when it arrives and never actually sees the Congressman's desk. (Probably a good thing - lets the Congressman deny that it exists or that he/she reads it, and gives the aides a nice benefit to their work. Seems like a win-win for everyone involved.)
A new news flash, possibly following on the heels of the release of Kallisti - five tonnes of flax is now a measurable currency amount. This is the second type of Discordian currency, the Norton being the other, and it appears to be useful in different bargaining situations than the Norton. Soon enough, there will be a currency exchange rate posted (FIVE TONNES OF FLAX = 1 Norton = FNORD) or some other thing. Of course, the currency, being freely reproducible, will likely have exorbitant inflation, demanding the design and manufacture of ever higher notes, allowing many Discordians not only their five tonnes of flax, but 5^555 tonnes of flax, should they need that much (with that much flax, though, how are you going to spin it all?)
That's the scoop for tonight - more in the morning.
