This And That For No Reason At All

[Cindy C.]

Hey,

Man, it's *quiet* around here!  OK, then.  Random observations are in
order . . . 

First, today's Washington Post reports that Prince (formerly known as
The Artist Formerly Known As Prince; formerly known as Prince; 
formerly known as Prince Rogers Nelson) is now a devout Jehovah's
Witness who visits prospective converts in their home door-to-door.  I
had some Witnesses come through my neighborhood just the other day
(they drop by now and then, and they are just the *nicest* folks you'd
ever want to meet), so now I will scan the next group closely for The
Purple One before deciding whether to invite them in!  ;-)

Here's the Prince link, complete with a photo -- a photo that makes me
wonder how in the world Prince wound up with hair so much nicer than mine?

Second, following on to our disscussion of telemarketers, here's a
story from yesterday's Post about how telemarketers can get around the
"Do Not Call" list.

Third, here's a "last call" if anyone else wants to join "Nearly
Departed."  That's the Yahoo group where we tearfully predict the
demise of famous people around the world.  Round One starts on
November 1, so if you'd like to join, now's the time.

To amuse ourselves in the meantime, the group has addressed a number
of philosophical issues of burning interest to members.  Like what it
means to have "blown pupils."  Why brain swelling can be such a
life-threatening problem when one is attacked by a tiger.  Why it is
so difficult to kick an addiction to prescription pain killers.  We're
about to get started working out the meaning of life and all that, and
we can use all the help we can get!  ;-)

Cindy -- sending sympathetic thoughts Nox's way because she still
misses her own dog that died suddenly several years ago
