GR/evacuation/sirens

[David Casseres]

On reflection, I think I should rather have said I *connect* those
things -- the screaming, the ICBM, the arc of the bouncing ball, the
Arcs of the Snow-Balls.  *Identify* is a bit much.

Thanx for pointing out the anti-god cry and the Kubricity of the link
from the end of GR to the beginning of M&D.  Interesting that you
turned the sequence around, making it from M&D to GR -- which of
course it is chronologickally, and I missed that Possibility.
