abbe (Abbe J Cohen):
Two big cardboard wheels, sturdily mounted to two splufty motors.
Motors mounted to a base cut out of Masonite.
Hook it up to a power supply and it works.
The wheels wobble a bit, though.
But it drives straight and steers well. :-)
Well, I made it to the shop at 8 am rather than 7 am...
One side "wall" assembled, but not yet mounted.

mwhitson (Michael Whitson):
They did then look further and, lo, high as they were they saw the
founding of a great republic and proclamations hailing new gods named
Due Process and Equal Rights For All. And they saw many in high
places in the republic form a separate cult and worship Mammon and
Power. And the Republic became and Empire, and soon Due Process and
Equal Rights for All were not worshipped, and even Mammon and Power
were given only lip-service, for the true god of all was now the
impotent What Can I Do and his dull brother What We Did Yesterday and
his ugly and vicious sister Get Them Before They Get Us.
"This is Aftermath," said Hera, and her bosom shook with tears for the
fate of the children of that nation.
And they saw many bombings, many riots, many rooftop snipers, many
Molotov cocktails. And they saw the capital city in ruins, and the
leader, wearing the face of Stanley Laurel, taken prisoner amid the
rubble of his palace. And they saw the chief of the revolutionaries
look about at the rubble and the streets fullof corpses, and they
heard him sigh, and then he addressed the leader, and he spoke the
eternal words: "Now look what *you* made me do," he said.
And that was the fifth Vision.

therese (Therese):
Don't jump too high, and knock out the sun
Don't stray too far, out on your own
When you finally come knocking, there'll be nobody home
Nobody home

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One
Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In
the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
