V--2nd, Chap 9, after Robin's post with a short lead-off digression (for Robin)

[Mark Kohut]

Turning the cable channels, I get to the movie of Bridget Jones Diary at the 
scene
at the book party where she is drunk at the mike and Salman Rushdie is in the 
crowd and
then the film cuts to cocktail party chatter and at the bottom of the screen we 
see/hear
Salman being asked, "just how autobiographical are your works?".....then 
cutaway.......

Inquiring minds always want to know.

meanwhile, "The Bondelswaartz believe in ghosts, the sferics frighten 
them."....once again,
modern electronics drive out ancient religious beliefs......
