Almost Before We Spoke, We Swore - New York Times

My fave line is: Every language, dialect or patois ever studied, living or dead, spoken by millions or by a small tribe, turns out to have its share of forbidden speech, some variant on comedian George Carlin's famous list of the seven dirty words that are not supposed to be uttered on radio or television.

There and back again...

12 hours ago I was on the strip in Las Vegas. 24 hours ago I was in a Jacuzzi in Reno. For the week before that Ash and I camped at Burning Man. Previous to that we spent a few days in Miami while Katrina made it's initial hit there (only a fraction of the ferocity with which it hit New Orleans).

Been quite an August.
