It seems like lilacs are in the news – tomorrow being Mother's Day, it's also apparently Lilac Sunday. There was a long piece on public radio show Living on Earth yesterday morning about how climate researchers use lilacs, because they're budding and blooming earlier and earlier. At lunch yesterday, the little florist's shop at work had lilacs or was using lilac scent as a part of a naturalistic display. As I walked past, there were a bunch of deliveries set out ready to go in the hall, probably for Mother's Day gifts. It was a little overwhelming – it's funny…

Dept. of Archeology: Fragmentary Knowledge: Reporting & Essays: The New Yorker Other artifacts included bronze fittings for wooden furniture, pottery, an oil lamp, and item 15087—a shoebox-size lump of bronze, which appeared to have a wooden exterior. Inside were what seemed to be fused metal pieces, but the bronze was so encrusted with barnacles and calcium that it was difficult to tell what it was.

Also, thus far he is reading "forum" questions on a silver laptop in the SciFi offices in New York, but NEVER TOUCHES the KEYBOARD. Knowing his character's electromagnetic…
