Just when I thought things were crazy, they are getting even crazier. It’s certainly not the heat, as that has been reasonable lately by Athens’ standards, but man alive, things keep getting thicker – and not even localized to Athens! The stars must be in some weird alignment, or maybe I’m just off my meds – wait, I was never on any; I am a self-medicated man (maybe I should double-check that!).>>

For those of you who don’t know the rules, they are fairly simple: If there is a bulletin board, or an approved window space, you are fine; just don’t put them on the poles or on the outside of buildings or you risk getting fined.>>

The time of Gemini is upon us, yet the weirdness is at bay. Maybe I am so inundated with weird and randomness that I am finally at home in the chaos that most certainly surrounds us. We’ll see, I suppose.>>
