A preview

    By Jack Grant

I'm busy at the technical conference, and I haven't had time to put together any photos to post, but here's a preview of some of the photos I took yesterday in the cloudy weather:

The parking lot outside the Leuven train station. There are more bicycles in this one photo than all the other bikes I've seen in my entire life added together. Do you think many people ride bikes here?



The city hall here in Leuven, which is a small town for Europe, doesn't look like one typical of small-town America.



I have yet to go to a town in Belgium that did not have a canal or twenty.

OH we have a ton of canals here in S. FL! Unfortunately, they don't look like that. Damn.

Random Fate - latest posts

We don't handle randomness well.
   -Dr. Lucy Jones


Trying to hold the center in not so quiet desperation while the left and the right do their damnest to tear everything apart.

What Others Say
An American transplanted to France for the moment, Jack is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, and almost always right.
   -Pennywit

Jack has an impressive knowledge of history, politics, and Keanu Reeves. When it comes to pirates, Jack is waaay sexier than that pansy Dread Pirate Roberts. Oh, wait--I'm thinking of Jack Sparrow...
   -Jennifer (Jennifer's History and Stuff)

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
   -William Butler Yeats, January 1919


Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
   -Dandemis

Wahabism Delenda Est
Wahabism must be destroyed.
