Braving the threat of YART, I must share a horror I discovered upon briefly diverting my attention from AWAD to the very serious "Hardcopy Observer", where I read: "...when CEO Carly Fiorina informed the world of HP's plans to transition itself from a "box maker" to a services and solutions provider". - Where are we transitioning ourselves?

Definitely a "sic" perversion of transit, which is not very glorious, but will probably infect the world.

> Definitely a "sic" perversion of transit,

Years ago I left on Sunday evening from Dover to Ostend via the ferry, and the weather was hideous. So hideous I drove the porcelain bus all night. But the weather cleared and I pedaled in bright sunlight to Amsterdam, where I noted in my diary: Sick transit, glorious Monday.
