Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way

Down by the river on a Friday night
A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
Talking 'bout cars and dreamin 'bout women
Never had a plan, just livin for the minute

They call me redneck, white trash and blue collar
But I could change all that if I had a couple million dollars
I keep hearing that money is the root of all evil
And you can’t fit a camel through the eye of a needle
I’m sure that’s probably true,
But it still sounds pretty cool
‘Cause it could buy me a boat, it could buy me a truck to pull it
It could buy me a Yeti 110 iced down with some silver bullets
Yeah, and I know what they say,
Money can’t buy everything
Well, maybe so,
But it could buy me a boat

"Looking down on empty streets, all she can see
are the dreams all made solid
are the dreams all made real
all of the buildings, all of those cars
were once just a dream
in somebody's head
she pictures the broken glass, she pictures the steam
she pictures a soul
with no leak at the seam
lets take the boat out
wait until darkness
let's take the boat out
wait until darkness comes."
--Peter Gabriel, Mercy Street

"Spare a little candle
Save some light for me
Figures up ahead
Moving in the trees
White skin in linen
Perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
These dreams in the mist"

Jesus bids us shine with a pure, clear light,
like a little candle
burning in the night.

"I would like to follow
you up the long stairway
again & become
the boat that would row you back
carefully, a flame
in two cupped hands
to where your body lies
beside me, and you enter
it as easily as breathing in"
--Margaret Atwood, Variation on the Word Sleep

Terry Pratchett (may he rest in Peace) mentioned the "Quantum weather Butterfly".
I wonder if that's the same thing ?

Interesting concept. Now if we can only organize our seagulls on the Gulf Coast, we could stop being a hurricane magnet.

A butterfly flaps its wings over Tokyo Bay and causes a storm over Kansas
Makes for a whole new twist on how Dorothy got to Oz.

I'd find it helpful if someone could find the chaos butterflies responsible for our local rainfall and cull them a bit.

Would that be the oil barons? Little social butterflies they are.
I give you Math 350.
I'm afraid I can't really analyze the veracity but I've looked at how many scientists support the theory of global warming and why certain ones don't. I'm convinced.
And since that's pretty much a complete downer, here's Singin' in the Rain.
