Maybe once the stars did influence our character and fate.
Maybe it was once possible to turn base metals into gold; to refine elements into virtue.
Maybe magic once really did work, not in a supernatural way but according to the laws of nature.

Maybe absinthe really once did make people trip balz. It’s not absinthe that’s changed. Nor people. The way the world works has changed.

The earth shifted. What once worked no longer does. New laws govern. We have a new present, a new future and a new past that always existed, just not until now.

It's like shifting from Mac to Windows. It works differently and not so well but looks sort of similar. Memories fade and there having ever been a different way is forgotten. We have new memories and a new past.

Fragments of the previous past still float about. Scraps of poetry. Let us wise pilgrims, reach. The Absinthe with the green pillars.

Did angels really talk to John Dee?

Uriel

Where can I find a scryer’s stone?

Does the knowledge of Hermes Trismegistus lie buried somewhere waiting to be rediscovered?

However the earth shifts. No matter how many pasts we have. In every world Bruno would still have been burnt.

I'm sorry my friend, but you have that ass backwards.


Windows to Mac is the only way to go.


No Windows OS has been worth a fuck since Win 2K.

End Of Story™.

I think TGO's channelin'
Kirkenstein through the
collegian parts of his
alma grey matter.

Once you go Mac you never go back.

I like it with cheese.

I want some of what TGO's drinking.

I've had enough to drink.

Or at least made myself completely unclear. I said it was a shift, just not a good one. My contempt Windows knows few bounds.

I've had nothing stronger than coffee and aspirin for at least a week or so.

You need to get out and get more stuff!

I got it as soon as I sobered up a bit.

My bust.

No, but Jesus did talk to Case-IH.

Grate posts, TGO. Too bad it took me a month to see them.
