Erratum

Our whiz-bang proofreaders have found an error in reportage as detailed herein. Staff is quite annoyed, yet still apologizes to our wide readership for the goof and is now mainly focused on finding someone to blame. 

The September 4, 2013 post announced, "Personal Flotation Device to be replaced by impersonal non-flotation sponge." This is not correct. Actually, the Personal Flotation Device, or "P.F.D." will be replaced by a Personal Flirtation Device. Therefore, the acronym PFD will remain in common usage forever. 

The old PFD was useful only to those in danger of drowning. The upgraded device will be of use to the many millions who never drown. 

The new PFD will apply the latest in flirtation technology, most notably the deployment of a holographic Third Eye that winks. 

Stay tuned for breaking news on who's to blame for the error. 
 

Canoe Poem #4

 

if all the while you stood and snored

thru cavalcades and drums

and stared the passing hours into

a steady background hum

then you might be missed

by all the gifts just waiting

to collide with you

should you come awake

snapped to, startled clear

then

do not exhort yourself, don't pause in reflection

stay  peeled

The time it takes to move from your mind to you

is an instant

the difference is not of kind or degree but dimension

it can only be extended by ignorance

don't think about it, it'll last longer that way

by Matt Rosenberger
