low tide

A wooden house in eastern Europe. Elm trees. Low hills. My walking stick. “Let me sketch you.” Set yourself free. Charcoal shadows and hollow air. The earth sings goodbye to another day. Brisk and fresh. Steam and mist. There is no script. A car radio bleats the blues….my minds not right….my sideburns are lopsided…my testicles are hanging lower than usual. The moon is a boomerang and at low tide you can smell dead sponge and rotten crab meat. From the bridge we looked down and saw huge fish swimming, a broken dock and the cafe lights where we had lunch. A salad with walnuts and fresh fruit. A glass of bubbled water from another country. Down at the waters edge, the crowds filled the streets and bikers had an excuse to ride in the orange hue dusk. We will grow old. Read books on a porch. Wait for visits from children. And their children. Fade into the colors of the trees. Watch the shadows move across the wood and when the noiseless winds come, I will still hold you and kiss you.
The End.

    I went to provera In its great scheme of things, the BBC knows how to report clearly defined victims – pensioners cheated by PPI, formerly abused children, “whistleblowers”. What it cannot understand is the position of the great majority of the people watching it – that they pay tax, and they keep paying more of it. Seldom do they see the story in a tax rise, in energy bills or planning delays, in their own stupefying executive pay-offs. Seldom do they expose the rise in the national debt or investigate why it is that, despite “cuts” every day, government spending still grows bigger all the time. The one entity, in short, in which the BBC feels permanently uninterested is the individual citizen.

A few require some hospitals to report, and you know, after last March when the head of the CDC first spoke out and called these things “nightmare bacteria” a couple more states signed up and required their hospitals to begin reporting. You can’t go to any single place and find out what’s going on. … The last I checked only about 16 hospitals were participating.

As Bruce Schneier pointed out in “Secrets and Lies”: “Real security improvement will only come through liability: holding software manufacturers accountable for the security and, more generally, the quality of their products.” Microsoft is the most egregious example of a corporation holding a virtual monopoly over a product for which it disclaims all responsibility. You can't sue Microsoft for security inadequacies, and millions of people all over the world are tied in to Microsoft products for which they have no practical alternative, so a few botched patches are neither here nor there as far as Microsoft is concerned. Their attitude to their “customers” – the non-corporate ones at any rate – is simply to offer them a few online forums to sound off in, monitored by supposed MS support experts whose invariable response to any problem that they don't understand is to recommend booting into safe mode and disabling drivers.
