Rick Mercer

Due to her illness, taxlady missed yesterday's "Rick Mercer Report". Does anyone know where one can find a torrent of it?

Linda Update.

So, taxlady's fever peaked today and we decided we really did have to get her to a medical clinic, as its been getting harder and harder to keep her fever down. Thanks to hendrikboom who drove out from his place to give us a lift to the clinic, we managed to get her to the Brunswick Medical Center without too much trouble. Then we had to wait roughly 4 hours to be seen by a doctor, then to have tests done, and then to be seen by a doctor again.

In the end it looks like taxlady has a bladder infection and a round of strong antibiotics should do the trick. So, now we're back home, prescriptions filled, and are hoping that she'll soon be back on her feet.

Dream Imagining.

Recent advances have begun to make it possible to study the brains of dreaming people and begin to figure out what they are dreaming about. One team made a robot that acts out the various body positions it can determine dreamer is dreaming of making.

This article talks about some of the ramifications of actually being able to record our dreams and play them back when awake. One that isn't mentioned is that I would really like to know what my friends look like in my dreams. I'm 99 44/100ths sure that there would only be a passing resemblance, since my dream images (as best I can recall) strongly reflect my feelings for them. All of my good friends are absolutely beautiful in my dreams, regardless of what they look like in real life.

I just wish I had a photograph to show some of them so they'd know how my mind's eye sees them.
