| #1: | posting my first Twitter message. What's it good for? |
| #2: | Not a 4-20 advocate. Tried it once; that was enough. I've got a good brain; it works well, and I'm happy with it. Why throw sand into it? |
| #3: | Hey you know who's birthday it is? Adoph "Der Feurer" Hitler! He's 120 today. He was the Big Man of the 20th Century, I'll say that! |
| #4: | Wondering if it is appropriate to rant about the uselessness of Twitter™ on Twitter itself. Facebook™ seems much more useful. |

| #11: | @angusbatey "Farcebook" - That's a good one! However, he and I are intertwined now. You can try to leave, but you'll be back! |
| #12: | Term of the day: "Munchausen by Proxy". It is called "uncommon", but it's often an undercurrent in parenting. Not just physical! |
| #13: | Attending a meeting of the Clark County Commission (Las Vegas) -- i.e. Post-apocalyptic Armageddon management in action! |
| #14: | Hangin' out in the Las Vegas court system -- for amusement. |

| #27: | CORRECTING THE RECORD: Mama Cass Elliot did NOT choke to death on a chicken bone in London in 1974. Cause of death was heart failure. |
| #28: | A POSITIVE FEEDBACK LOOP is when small changes feed back into a system to create catastrophic ones. e.g.economy, global warming. Not good! |
