just started GR for the third time, having gotten my butt whipped
(partly b/c of short attention span rationalization--all those p.k. dick
books staring at me, promising smooth fun!) twice, and i can't help but
refer to the cartoon accuracy of a short passage at the beginning:
	What if it should hit <exactly>--ahh, no--for a split second
	you'd have to feel the very point, with the terrible mass above,
	strike the top of the skull. . . .
ah, pynchon! what a thrill even to type the line, pretending the feel of
the initial utterance!
swooning,
ray
