Looks as if he's been hitting the Guinness already and is slipping into
maudlin mode...

But I'd like to know how the *sun* "waxes and wanes"? Or is it some trick
of the light in Godzone? Perhaps this is a question for M-Sci?

Cheers,

Hugh

PS Life is *both* beautiful and full of shit. It's called dialectics.
Something can also be done about it, as I'm sure Gary would agree -- at
least as far as  socially determined shit is concerned.
