It is not that unusual and never has been. The mind plays tricks. I reply here all of the time. I will read over something two or three times, it looks right, submit. Someone will respond, I look at my reply and part of it makes no sense. If this is all it takes for the collapse of our species then we are not on very sound footing to begin with.

He gave me my first drum cases. We were both stunned. Neither one of us were big Elvis fans. Duffy was a forty something black man into jazz and soul, and I was a 29 year old into rock,country rock, jazz, and soul, but Elvis was a larger than life character who you felt like would be around forever. Elvis and Kennedy are the only famous people that I remember where I was when they died.
