Why am I becoming increasingly more 'blase' about BF as the time is getting nearer? Is it due to my job being absolutely crazy this week? I'll be in Windsor Tues and Wed working exceptional hours, but then again, I hear that Calum's doing same. Is (...) (20 years ago, 9-Aug-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) 6.2rpm?!?!? As in, about once every ten seconds? Huh. That's pretty slow. Hmm, looks like you missed something there.
