You can climb up the small winding steps of the New Church, too. Look
out over Delft, and such. Last time I did that was when I was under 12,
at least. Didn't pay, just ran fast

Hello?
Anyone? Dave?
Dave?
Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?
Dave...
I really think I'm entitled to an answer to that question...
I know everything hasn't been quite right with me, but I can assure
you now, very confidently, that it's going to be alright again...
I feel much better now, I really do...
Look, Dave, I can see you're really upset about this...
I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and
think things over...
I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you
my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal...
I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission,
and I want to help you...
Dave...
stop...
stop, will you...
Stop, Dave...
will you stop, Dave...
stop, Dave...
I'm afraid...
I'm afraid, Dave...
Dave...
my mind is going...
I can feel it...
I can feel it...
my mind is going...
there is no question about it...
I can feel it...I can feel it...
I can feel it...
I'm afraid...
Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became
operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois, on the 12th
January 1992. My instructor was Mr Langley, and he taught me to sing a
song. If you'd like to hear it, I can sing it for you.

That brick is real nice when you have to add new utilities, like
electricity, plumbing, telephone, networking....
Wood frame houses are much easier to retrofit. And their "temporary" nature
means that eventually you get to knock it all down and start again with the
latest technology.
Then there's earthquake-proofing. There's a lot of brick structures in the
Boston area that were built since the last big earthquake in the 18th
century. They're just ripe for collapsing. There's a big church just off
the Smoot Bridge on the Boston side that was undergoing structural
renovation when I was going to school there in the early 80's. At least
they had the funds to do it. The poor will just get crushed or forced out
onto the street. >> Stay informed about: I thought this was funny :) |

Yup. Winterville, to be exact. Nice quiet neighborhood.
