We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

"Capacity: Over half a liter, twice the volume commonly urinated."

Hmm Is a pot of coffee <= half a liter?  Note to self: buy two.


Miles and miles all the while I feel secure
Even when the fuse gets short I can keep my nerve
Believe in such a tradition I got in my truck cab

That reminds me, when I was growing up in Houston there was a humor columnist for the Chronicle named Allison Sanders. He called himself The Motorman, and if a reader wrote or phoned in a funny story he could use, he'd call them a Motorman's Friend.

Years later, I read that in the old days a Motorman's Friend was a urinal bag with a tube that a streetcar conductor (motorman) would strap to one leg since he couldn't take a bathroom break. Makes sense but Sanders never let on how he was "honoring" his readers.  :)
