each lock makes two prisons

i can't credit the subject title to myself, it's a quote from james richardson, a favorite author of mine, i'll keep posting his stuff, it's quite thought provoking.

in fact, here's another, why wait? "we have secrets from others. but our secrets have secrets from us."

i'm headed out to a coil winding trade show tomorrow -- just a quick day trip -- fly out at 6 am, fly back in at 11 pm, but at least i'll only miss one class! a bit of a fest for motor geeks if you will.

today, i recruited at the tech job fair - and calculated myself to be 1/6 hokie at this point - maybe in a year, i'll feel more like one, who knows? i think it's mostly because my loyalties to purdue are so strong that it's hard for me to do it, but when i find room for them both, i'll be fiercely loyal to them both.

also: i tend to disagree with the stated "fact" of how many words are in the english language - even from an opinion's standpoint - there are at least 500,000 in a typical unabridged dictionary- so how can only half that many exist? and how does one count low lowercase words? i'm intrigued.

(how easy it is to disagree with someone when their identity is cloaked-- food for thought.)
