It has here in Indy-by-Gawd-anna, but alas, poor yorik, well that I knew 
it.  The two jobs, a new house and no yard but lots of bare clay that 
needed graded, seed, straw, and water,  two teen-agers, the annual local 
county adult literacy charity team quiz bowl, practicing with my middle 
school kids for the state finals in the Academic Superbowl, and strong 
dirnk on occasion makes a fellow weary.

The local college-oriented anarkos had a week of resistance two weeks ago 
which was fairly cool; a critical mass with seven arrests (and I'm stuck in 
a frigging job at the time), a "park in" where two guys rolled an old 
rusted 4-wheel drive vehicle up to the doors of the grand opening of an Old 
Navy and bicycle-locked themselves under the truck to the frame; and a 
couple of marches regarding the trial of the first-ever alleged ELF member 
for tree-spiking (this one is a real set-up job, even if the arresting game 
warden is a friend of mine that I grew up with).   I wish I was free of 
this wage-slavery on days like those.

But then again goat, I'm getting old and I'm not sure I want to bash my 
head against the wall for fun any more.  I've been thinking of unsubbing 
again.  I just feel a bit hypocritical sometimes.
