...63rd consecutive day that they seem to be in the midst of a dry spell. Once, on a tour bus in France, I sat next to a very old Japanese man whose English was entirely limited to the discussion of pleasant weather. Periodically he pointed to the sky and said, earnestly, "It's fine." He was a nice man, but I have to admit it was an extremely boring conversation...

...Seeing that the day was done for these men, I decided that I would make my way home as well. I stepped back out onto the deserted main street behind the transfer station and headed back towards the highway. The air was crisp and the sky was clear blue. Gazing off into the distance I noticed the gold peak of the Capital building sparkling like a beacon for my journey back to my red- bricked home...

Attractive young actors and actresses parade in front of the screen playing idealistic intellectual types who associate smoking their choice of cigarettes with the ideal that "one person can change the world," and the desire to "see all the stars in the sky at the same time." But I suspect the phrase in the flyer hinted at something all the more corrupt because it is more sincere.
