Verbal extremism in defense of civil liberties is no vice
posted by Jennifer Abel at 9:06 AM
Jennifer Abel is an American writer who began her career in print media three minutes before the Internet killed the industry. After starting at a small Connecticut daily she moved to the Hartford Advocate, an alt-weekly where her journalistic coups included infiltrating a Furries convention and working on a phone sex line (which fired her six hours later). Since then she’s written for, or been reprinted in, dozens of print and web outlets, including Playboy, the Guardian, Salon, AlterNet, Mashable, the Daily Dot and pretty much every website with the words "cannabis" or "legalize it" in the title. Once, when she was young and naïve and needed the money, she unwittingly edited SEO copy for a spammer. However, in light of the spambot comments she’s deleted from her own blogs since then, she figures she’s more than repaid that particular karmic debt. Jennifer is currently looking for professional, non-spam writing jobs; interested editors are enthusiastically invited to e-mail her.

I thought it retroactively caused former Rep. Mark Foley to be a pedophile.
You can hear the _very same storm_ going through Ohio at 2:30 this morning http://rhhardin.home.mindspring.com/night.train10.ram , the rain starting seriously about 34 minutes in.
I record outdoor sounds automatically every night, hoping to pick up a good decent train whistle. I can review it at 10x normal speed in the morning. It happened to pick up a weak one, followed by that thunderstorm, last night.
There's no particular point to it, except to illustrate that the internet has everything.
My best train whistle so far is from 1:30am May 1 http://rhhardin.home.mindspring.com/night.train7.ram
Nothing approaches the sound you get, though, in bed with the window open. Perhaps it needs stereo to sort out the whistle from the general night rustle.
