\u201cMy imagination functions much better when I don't have to speak to people.\u201d -Patricia Highsmith

SAME times a million.

Today, as rusty water drips on my head, I present to you two separate readings about how the earliest occupants of the Americas discovered the wheel, but only as a children's toy. Kids first I guess. Stay strong my friends. I love you very much.

Oh, and I heard your cries via the Podomatic "We Want More" button or whatever that is, so I'll be giving you an After Dark episode this week. I'm looking forward to it! I have so much I want to read you guys. Thank you so much for listening and caring. Let us proclaim the mystery of faith.
