Bornite is great, but #molybdenite is not copper! I kid (kind of)! A soft, silver, greasy, hexagonal mineral that can look like JiffyPop, foil-wrapped leftovers, or metallic graphite. It can handle high-stress/high-temps, & it's anti-corrosive. Those seem like good qualities here & now!

The Hum summoned us to march the electric ley of the land. Transmission tower to transmission tower, it called us onwards. Each pylon a portal deeper into its mysteries. To follow The Hum was to be transformed by it. – Tattoo Labyrinth Dave #VOH #WrydWanderings

This might not be the, um, best time to resurrect this initiative, but am ready to greenlight this once I get the pigs, or similar animal that can scarf jiggly. Swimming pool could be a large enough private one. Have leads on public ones.
Okay, so, Portland...I need an abandoned indoor pool and someone to make really large multicolored jellos from molds that look like creatures if you smashed them on the floor of the abandoned swimming pool... and then someone with some trained pet pigs to devour the remains while being photographed.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.
This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.
