John Perry Barlow on How to Overthrow the Government:

Democracy doesn't have to be dreary. Your franchise is a gift not an obligation. Exercise it with with gladness. And company.

Friends don't let friends vote alone. Do not head for your local polling place without a car-load of like-cultured souls, preferably dressed for fun - Burners take note - and possibly high on something. (But not too high, of course.) Tell everyone you know to do this. Dancing while waiting in line is not out of the question.

Following your encounter with the nice blue-haired ladies and the Republican intimidation teams, go to a central place and kick out the jams.

(I've never even thought of this, which, if anything, proves that I need to think a little harder about my civic responsibility to party. Who's in?) The most important part is Part 6, of course.

Clearing out space on the laptop I came across a large text file with a name consisting of totally random characters which, when opened, proved to be James Boswell's The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides with Samuel Johnson, LL.D., downloaded two years ago from Project Gutenberg. Now that I've put a copy online in I place I look at a lot maybe I have a shot at actually rereading it. It's been kind of a while. If we're lucky I'll even format it reasonably for reading online.

I have silly Sesame Street songs running continually through my head. (Yes, I realize that this is only the beginning.) It makes it surprisingly difficult to concentrate.
