But then, aren't we all? :D

David Altmejd, "The Eye," 2010-2011, bronze, even more arresting in person (Montreal, CA)

The great Neal Asher on immortality in SF via Tor.com tor.com/2017/04/11/five-books- (Asher's own books are terrific, most-highly recommended!)

The lead-story cutting-edge news that is the hallmark of my much-vaunted local newspaper: sfgate.com/world/article/India

@lindseyb too tempting to use selfie sticks on rides and they can easily reach past safe ride spaces and cause big problems including injuries and even (theoretically) breaking rides. Plus there's the issue of general annoyance to non-selfie-sticking visitors.

@larrybob Absolutely! Every so often I stumble across a "Wolfe-word" in another context and it's a bit disconcerting (but also kinda great).

@Mainebot That's great! Might have to dig up my copy from the college years and give it a more focused re-read. Thanks!
