This is a test of posting-by-email (I'm using my actual email, since I haven't sorted out how to send text using my mobile phone). As a bonus, I'll have the PIN stored in my outbox. (I'm doing this because I can--Semagic is more flexible.)

Slept well last night--the same cat who stretched out on my chest to help me sleep woke me with a loud meow, and then hurried over and purred loudly on my lap.

Yesterday's main accomplishment was reading Maureen Barr's Oy Pioneer!, which has quite a few amusing bits and is fairly fluffy. I do think the University of Wisconsin could have afforded a proofreader--words duplicated, paragraphs with no ending punctuation, and obvious spell-checker errors distracted me. (So did the narrator's assertion that it's too difficult to get from Forest Hills to the Museum of Natural History by bus or subway--all you need to do is take the E to 42nd Street and catch an uptown C. I did a messier trip, from slightly further out into Queens, every day for four and a half years.)

I've signed up, but not tested, for posting by email. Clearly, hard line breaks are a problem.

Some people find public transport incomprehensible - I will never forget a colleague of mine, left-leaning by inclination, but born into money, who didn't even know that there was a bus from the centre of town out to our department, despite having been there for three years and cycling along the bus route every day! "I've never used a bus..."
