Because...Lasers!
Found this at the thrift shop today, $20.00, retails for over 500$ US, couldn't just leave it. Had to buy it, if only to sell it on, for the opportunity to write copy for it, mischief abounds...The table and chairs are listed (sold 1 chair already..), the desk is listed, the sofa listed (for free, go to hell, sofa, you brown corduroy monstrosity!), this, on the other hand, will be fun...
Exactly as pictured, like new. A $549.00 US$ Product New. Buy it from me for a mere $220 or come over and bathe in it's unholy glow for a mere $20.00/hour.

After using it for 3 months...
Clearly I didn't know when to stop using it...

Only he who has also raised
his lyre among shadows
may find his way back
to infinite praise.
Only he who has eaten with the dead
from their stores of poppy
will never again lose
the softest chord.
And though the pool’s reflection
often blurs before us:
Know the image.
Only in the double realm
do the voices become
eternal and mild.
- Rainer Maria Rilke, Sonnet IX, from Sonnets to Orpheus, trans. Edward Snow
Reading, finding it strangely affecting. It hardly needs my recommendation...

Bored, the nephew persuaded me to go out, he wants to go out bad, this life in the burbs is wearing on him, he can't take it...I'm tired, can't be bothered to party, not tonight, notwithstanding the weather I have to dig some holes on my day off and don't want to be too wrecked before it starts...
Outside the club, having a cigarette, the doorman complaining to somebody in line that he doesn't get tipped. Alright then. I'll bite. I give him $50. Let's see what tipping the doorman does for one...I'm curious...he tells me he's straight, not to go expecting ...., no, no, I reassure him, I'm just curious, what do you get out of tipping the doorman? A red carpet? Expedited line-up? Reduced cover? Fairy tales are rife with the unexpected consequences of good deeds, we'll see...

"I have not failed. I've just found 10000 ways that won't work." - Edison
Meaning that while the weather has been, to say the least, adversarial, the day will be spent off digging a few more holes. I need to take bigger samples, process more dirt, even if they're there I won't find them in the first few buckets, I'll have to commit to moving a few meters of dirt a day, and every place I look is another star on the map, it's the process of elimination, I don't need to find them, just find where they're not...
