Califronia Raisin'

Aaron:

Thanks for the kind words. I must say, I do envy you somewhat. We have about a foot of snow on the lawn while you are drying your lips in the sun and dreaming film scripts – you are close to Hollywood after all. Your pending exit from LA County (and the bit about the bean burrito) reminded me of an old Moody Blues song which began with one unforgettable line – “Blasting, billowing, bursting forth with the power of 10 Billion butterfly sneezes.” A classic 60s take on locomotion if there ever was one. Harnessing sneezes, sneeze farms, sneeze-powered turbine engines – there’s your car cure. Pepper farmers would be run off their feet. Keep on truckin’ and watch out for bad meat, particularly the stuff still on the hoof.
