Politics for Poets

No debatin' that it is Payton!

Well, the Pats had a good run this year. Nothing to think is lacking to fall to Mr. Manning.

This is not a brick and morter, but we do have brick.

fun with brace expansion

"Why don't we BASH 🚀 for a while?"

the parenthesis are necessary here because the whole thing is created and then formated. Note that a space is added between each expanded element.

well . . .

I think I've blogged enough today.

"I'm all blogged out."

~ OK Now.

one of the rituals here at Urgecentral is that every year we take down the old year and put up the new one. Thus the data flips over. I don't 'automate' the year flip (or do I?). Well I might. IN anycase I need to start adding 2014 to all of the copyright notices. Copyright notices . . . well I could go on.

Praise God! awful first novel lines:

If she was born given over to madness then he didnt' see it in her till he had already brought her to the mountain and sacrificed her to his dreams of living way on high, crazy living.

OK, I've actually got somewhere to go.

how hard is it to use these new symbols in your stuff? Well, first you need to know that they exist. Second, you can just cut and paste them.

I've got a message for . . . Mr Bash (an alias for someone else). Mr Bash, if I use brace expansion with the dot-dot idiom, ie like this:

echo -e {🌃..🌅}{🌍..🌏}{🌑..🌚}" "

why does that not work when

echo -e {🌃,🌄,🌅}{🌍,🌎,🌏}{🌑,🌒,🌓,🌔,🌕,🌖,🌗,🌘,🌙,🌚}" "

will? Maybe I've not ordered the elements properly. Well that little snippit doesn't work that well but t

It gets put in
and no one notices it.      

The following poem is fresh, whipped up, off the cuff.

  
 all he wants
  is a hug
 from no one
 but from the heart.
  


  Praise God! 

"An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed." Proverbs 20:21 KJV

Wake up!

Wake up!

Wake up!
