Ever omniscient LRPD
We look. Often we do not see. Only rarely do we see fully. I remember that story as a child. Very intuitive review for adulthood. Will never look at children's books the same way again. :-D Anyone wanna take a stab at "Mike Mulligan and the Steam Shovel" ? (giggle) Peace, Amy

Re: Ever omniscient LRPD
Remember the author / title?
I recall this as the intro 'theme' of a person who did psych evals, employing a video camera so that people could see themselves.. this was when a 'home' video camera was expen$ive and rare. Now they're in toothbrushes, or will be.
(No reason why she shouldn't lift it, of course - most everything we say was said before..)
And.. Heh
I see that Google's bare two entries for this quote == IWE refs, neither of which snares its initial appearance here.. Obv their webcrawler snagged the LRPD with the text -- only it ain't There anymore!
Must. Educate. Google. re the evanescence of the ineffable L.R.P.D. as Knows the sound.. of one hand giving the finger.
Edit: D'Oh - well natch - it Is in the cached version; must be some HUMONGOUS cache, that.

Ping'n'me
as a little kid in school I greatly annoyed my teacher by complaining about the boat captain's method of whacking the last duck to get back on the boat
I said that there would always be a last duck no matter what and that it hardly seemed fair
If she is still alive she is probably still annoyed
