needless personal note, in re: SH:

Noted - an ex-girlfriend, to whom in reaction I hopped over the emotional cliff, had her cats taken by an ex-bf on his way to California. Quite rightly, as a good progressive hippie drug-aficionado should, she called the police, and had him indicted. When he returned to NC, he had the joys of going to court to answer charges of kitten abduction, second-degree.


Goodness gracious, as Barry says. How does one account for that? I knew everyone was going nuts, but I more or less thought she already was, and so would be spared the more foolish aspects of the general decline. Not so much, not so much.
