youarewhatyouarewhatyouare....I was busy sight-seeing when I saw a millipede hurrying along the ground, across another millipede and on her way. Subsequent to this was an article in the newspaper saying that the Hudson Valley was being invaded by millipedes, and that millipedes have 2 pairs of legs per body segment; a hundred legs in all! also the article said that millipedes are unable to go around things, they just go straight ahead, and that's how they end up in houses, and particularly the moist, cool basements.

I interrupted.
“Fuck, it’s snowing again.”
