10) Many months
after I wrote the above, I saw an article in the Sacramento Bee talking
about a puzzling phenomenon. For some reason nobody could understand,
gasoline consumption in Sacramento was down something like 5% from pre
Gulf War levels. The article compared the usage profile of Sacramento
with places like Fresno and San Jose, where consumption had risen again
to prewar levels. I can't prove I had anything to do with it, but I
still think all those stickers that said "MEND YOUR FUELISH WAYS" were
somehow connected.
11) I wrote the
aging page above long before I stumbled on that great J. William
Fulbright quote
that goes something like "If you don't like what your government is
doing, you have a sacred duty to object."
