...various scenarios. Other cars were driven through the opposite lane to determine exactly what witnesses could have seen from that vantage point. But the session last week was just a warm-up for the full-blown re-enactment that will most likely start, like Diana's fatal last ride, at the Ritz Hotel. It will feature an identical Mercedes S-280 accompanied by the 10 paparazzi who are suspected of contributing to the crash by their pursuit. Judicial sources say the main re-enactment is still weeks away...
Aside from figuring out the lyrical motivation, indulge in the addictive chorus of "I Got Time." Hanley jubilantly and rockingly declares, "You take the weight off the heavy notion/I'll take the wave from coast to ocean/that's why the ride is light/it's alright," with perfect background harmonies and studio dubs of Hanley singing complementary lyrics ("disappointment try it out/disappointment it's alright") peppered in at certain points.

Dartboard had no time to quibble; we suffered our rip-off quietly...
...return taxi ride to campus was even more unpleasant. The cab driver was not only offensively aggressive in grabbing our bag while we walked toward another cab, but he was abusive when it came time to pay. He insisted that Dartboard owed him for a base charge to Kirkland House what Dartboard paid last year (extra generous tip included) to ride all the way to Hurlbut Hall...
