NP: Richard Ford's take on delta t

[Terrance F. Flaherty]

I think, that while Richard Ford was "standing on that ground he calls human
nature," with his nostrils on the surface of the sea, he missed some awesome
tubes. I say he's got sand in his crack when he spouts off about that
existential left he caught in Vienna- Wittinsomethingorother.  Cmon Fordy,
don't stand there lokkin like a tourist with tit-rot, here, you can bum my
Bunger, don't worry, whales aint got email neither and they aint got "no
opinion" on the President's sex life-they blow that sad sax you hearin cause
they can't read about the Swann and nobodies got the time to read it to them.
Sometimes when I get all nostalgic for a Woody, I strap a beautiful fiberglass
tool to my ankle and close my eyes and whisper three times-nothing is contrary
to nature, nothing is contrary to nature, nothing is contrary to nature.
