Capitol Hill is behavioring. Yeah, there they are. Lime bikes, pedestrians, purple hair. I thought it was a purple hat, but I realized it's purple hair. It is purple hat. It's my favorite kind of bluish purple. But see, I live in a neighborhood where you can't tell if the head color is a hat color or hair color. crabs there are some serious scientists who who posit that our descendants if we have any may re-evolve into something resembling crabs so it's always crabs convergence evolution it's like all kinds of things that are crabs they're not one genus they're the independent lineages that that that go toward it They evolve into the same design center and some have minuscule brains and some have surprisingly large brains or arthropods. Reading you know I am waiting for some other books that are murder mysteries so one of my fallbacks are science fiction and a sub-genre of science fiction which are Doctor Who stories well, thanks. There are the novelizations of the children going way back to the origins of the children's program when it was Patrick Troughton, for instance, the second doctor who was a bit of clownish and was obviously still a children's program back then. It's interesting that all the Doctor Who fans that were children back then in the 60s have grown up to be some of them grown up to be authors and engineers and scientists and and I'm reading a new story by Stephen Baxter who is a person who was an engineer and re-evolved into a writer. It's all writers like Crabs and but it's it's not written at the children's level is that or children in the UK are more advanced readers but the dedication is to Claire Baines top Who fan Paul Cornell top Who writer Paul Ollie and Kim Newman top Who buddies in and the memory of Patrick Troughton top Who and so it's obviously that's a story that's playful it's it's like you know a naive kind of science fiction as the old Doctor Who children's version used to be was once, but here it's written at a seemingly adult level, a fairly advanced reading level, and I happen to be on page 33 by the way, speaking of radio emotu, emoti, emoti codes, the Philips code, it was mostly business but there are few emoti grabs in there the motor codes we'll call them anyway so it's a it's hard bound it's well it's a serious looking book and a story that was never been told before but obviously by an adult former engineer or scientist who is who is re-evolved into a crab I mean doctor who sci-fi sub-genre writer and I I have some coffee here. She is coming in my $2 thrift store IKEA mug hmm it's very nice in the hand but my second cup of coffee that is warming instead of using the microwave I have the 60 watt bun pot heater and it's just sitting there warming to serving temperature as I speak KX2 CW all the emotograms Jonah Broadway back to that over time
