Sleeping = Fighting Bears

OK. "The Bear" has a mean teammate, "Grizzly,"

aka P-neumonia. The good news:

Dr. : I'm ordering a powerful antibiotic for you . . . and you don't also have mono.

Pharmacy: Insurance pays most of the $170 for the 10 pills.

School : Please don't return until your doctor faxes a release note.

Sweet dreams, everybody. xoxo

MOSES: And God came down from the Heavens, and He said unto the Chicken, “Thou shalt cross the road!” And the chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.

BUDDHA: Asking this question denies your own chicken nature.

SIR ISAAC NEWTON: Chickens at rest tend to stay at rest. Chickens in motion tend to cross the road.

BILL GATES: I have just released the new Chicken Office 2010, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook.

R. BUCKMINSTER FULLER: Because we have not yet designed and implemented true,constantly forwardly/backwardly evolving, energy-transforming livingmachines which will enable us to perform all functions from the informedlyturbining hub of a single autonomous in-spiralling/out-radiating network ofspace-connected information vector transforms. Had the chicken beensupplied with my Dymaxion Tensegrity Coop, it would have remained at home,un-tempted by such risky spatial-temporal translations.

MAINSTREAM MEDIA The chicken crossed the road with Britney Spears and a missing Gosselin twin, and was almost hit by an SUV pursued by police cars, with helicopters transmitting images of the event.
