(4am dream)

I was in the cartoon Futurama and Fry was driving his old car from the year 2000. A small fire was burning in the base of the gear shift, as a result of not having enough oil. Watched him drive it down the hill and around to a dock over a lake where it fell into the lake while full of people.

We ran down to help, and people were all in the water trying to grab onto the dock to float. I helped a woman grab onto the dock and walk her hands up toward safety.

A man from my men's group gave us masks so we could swim under water and breath under water.

I spent some time shaking little tiny rubber beads out of the tubing of my mask before I put it on. It basically was just face goggles and little rubber straps that hooked back on my ears, like an ear plug to keep water from getting in my years and also to hold the mask on. I got a firm airtight seal over my face and went under water. I was pleased with how easy it was to breathe.

There was a mouse selling little green plastic frogs, so I went over to him to get a picture of me as if I were buying a little plastic frog from a mouse underwater. The mouse was about four feet tall, and not very impressed with our joke because we weren't actually buying a frog.

I swam back under the dock and was sitting on some couches apparently no longer under water, at a meeting with KTRU or YRUU people. There was some people from men's group there and they made a huge poster with the bodies of a king and queen with the faces of the administration of Rice or something like that. People cheered or appreciated the poster.

After the meeting, we were sitting on the curb in the middle of the street just chilling and talking for some hours as traffic got heavier around us. A Camaro cop car saw us and put on his lights. I was all, "either we're busted, or someone else is." We were busted and he said, "go to the restaurant across the street." so we went and sat in a booth and I said, "okay, let's simply tell them we've been sitting there for at least 3 hours and traffic got bad in that time. "Okay." But the cop never walked up before I woke up.

emacs moved the eighteenth ring!! Now it will take this many days again before it gets to move the nineteenth ring.

I just used dc to determine that it will take approximately 5.845 * 10^11 years before it finishes. I think I already wrote that, but not as precisely.

Today at work I did some more flash stuff - I made a simple form that sends variables to SAS. Now I have to figure out how to send variables back to the shockwave movie to make it work as a survey they way I want.

So far, I have not found any tutorials on the web that describe how to do this.

Good news: I have found out what I need to make the Flash stuff work the way I want.

Bad news: I typed on the emacs hanoi window, causing it to stop.

Here is how far it got:
