A Penny for Your Thoughts (February 11, 1974)

 O gentle kiss of death

For this you longed,

The touch of his sweet lips,

His whispered song.

Unloved and unloving

You searched with pain

For his crimson mouth now bloodied

With your life's stain.

The winter winds blow coldly

Through your withered soul.

The bud, unblossomed, breaks

Before the vernal thaw.

Carbon Neutral

As soon as I woke up today, I checked my email. I was disappointed to find out that I still haven't received my invitation to join the Mars colonization mission. Have you? Sigh!

I loaded the hybrid with my recycling to drop off later. I then planned my morning project, to shovel the snow on the front walk. Over my bowl of granola, I estimated that there was 1 inch of snow on the sidewalk, measuring 3 feet by 30 feet (36 inches by 360 inches).

Since 1 inch of snow is approximately 0.1 inch of rain, I estimated that I needed to remove 1,296 cubic inches of water. One gallon of water weighs 8 lbs. One gallon is 231 cu...

Our primary concerns, of course, were the external condition of the shelter and its ability to resist the fallout, as well as the reliability of the decontamination units for air and water. How much more meaningful now is the wry smile of the technician who installed the shelter when I stupidly asked him about the warranties. Almost smirking, he said, "Sure, if you have any problems, just give us a call and we'll send the first available person!" I still imagine my message melted and mutely captured in the copper pools that were once the telephone lines. Then there was the food supply. Were the infinitesimal particles of radioactive dust excluded by the lead lining of the cans? Was the aluminum plating on the inside of the cans preventing leaching of the lead into the food? These speculations were only the latest iterati...
