Installing Linux was not exactly a walk through hell, but there was no way I could have done it without help--another reason to pay for something you can get free. After making absolutely no headway on my garden-variety IBM ThinkPad, I finally called "Thor," a guy in Red Hat's support squad. He checked around and then informed me that I was out of luck. My external CD drive was incompatible with the Red Hat distribution. "Laptops can be a nightmare," he confessed. Bowed, but not broken, I borrowed a desktop PC from the bowels of Time...
...long way here from Thor developing the wheel or the Fat Broad braining the Snake. The story of B.C.'s periodic lurches into A.D. has been brewing in conservative Christian circles for a while, but got its mainstream outing in the Easter edition of the Washington Post. The piece recounted how Hart, whose combined work on B.C. and The Wizard of Id makes him the earth's most syndicated comics author, bought some satellite dishes.

She detached herself from a safety line after a few days and climbs barefoot through the tree for exercise. She hasn't had a bath since December, but she makes do by swabbing herself down. It has been cold lately, and windy, so at night she wraps herself tight in a sleeping bag, leaving only a small hole for breathing. Beneath an electric blue tarpaulin draped around the branches, she cooks vegan meals on a single...
