At 17th and Y here a colony of hornets have made a nest out of an abandoned railroad traffic signal. They were sedate as I passed by and of course I did nothing to change that. Still there's a very strong nightmare-surreal effect in watching dozens of the God damned things crawl about in their business. I cower and freeze without shame when a venomous hymenoptera touches me. I'm not allergic and I don't think my tolerance for pain is worse than average it's just that, the thought of being poisoned by these mecha-looking Other Things makes me cold.

Voyager 1 is the first human made thing to leave the solar system. That's fucking awesome. It's true that we are well into the 21st century now and while progress in space travel may seem to be coming along slowly you must remember that James Kirk's birthday is still a hundred and twenty years from now.
