Sheesh.  Guess I'm calling it a night.  Hope I didn't fuck the site up for everyone.  Been trying to do some upgrading.  Getting too sleepy, so I'll pick it back up in the a.m.

Don't sweat it so much.  It's your site.  Fuck it up if you want.  Good morning to whomever's here.  I am drunk.  I am smoking a Tattoo and drinking Jack Daniel's old No. 7.  I've been working on my motorcycle all evening, but tomorrow I'm going to have to try to scrounge brake line fittings.  Did I mention I'm pretty drunk?  Okay, not so pretty.  But drunk.  I must be drunk.  This Tattoo is tasting great.  Evening...to whomever's here.

In 1972, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a trio of death sentences, saying the way they had been imposed constituted cruel and unusual punishment. (The ruling prompted states to effectively impose a moratorium on executions until their capital punishment laws could be revised.)
