Artifacts/Artefacts

Journal Entry Date: 8 Sept 2004

Thought for the Day: Mystics say that the world is an illusion, but when damaged, I bleed. How can this contradiction be resolved?

Thank you, Lord, for a body that works well.

Brought to eye/mind today: Artefacts/artifacts

Journal:
>Got to my desk at work and was reminded by my computer of the class that started 20 minutes earlier and that I was supposed to attend. So I trotted off with many apologies on my tongue.

>Received a $10 gift card from Lowe's; I don't know why.

>While waiting for MLF to return with vehicle, so I could go, leafed through book FISHERMAN'S WORLD. Bought it particularly for one picture of a fish diving into the water, but there are many intriguing water effects shown. The fisherman who wrote this book has an artist's eye.

>On the way to exercise delayed in turning right by a black sedan making a U-turn. I think it was the same one I encountered yesterday.

>Received the following notice via email:
"You were forced to sell 3 out of the 18 shares you own in Against the Flow for B$41.63 ea. (3x the current market price) because James Coberly restructured the blog using a Muse (artefact)."
