You wrote about Googling?

I have not found me over the last year, even when I wrote about

But I did find me when I wrote a fictitious bit about Rachel Maddow:

Well that is a good way to end my day. The line that stuck out for me was "no one can take your place". We just have to each find our place. Some have already, others are still looking. The point is not to give up looking even without any assurance one will be successful.

Oh this is for you Trope.

Audrey was and is always dear to my heart.

WWII was no Disney Land to her.

"...asymmetric array of countervailing forces...for better and worse" is a great way of looking at it. I suppose one just needs mindful of whether their force is for the better or the worse.

I think of it as an asymmetric array of countervailing forces.
People live a certain way and they influence others by the force of their conviction and the influence created.
For better and worse.
The Medieval model of angels battling devils may have been an attempt to draw vector diagrams upon the record of observed events.

The Welsh stuff is older than that, obviously.

I'll bite your kneecaps off, you rotten bastid. Anyway, I may be short, but you can't spell "Venn" - how pathetic is that? And besides, short people have greater brain density - bet sparks have trouble making the leap between your neurons - if you have any left after huffing engine solvents for fun. What will you do when cars go all electric - shove battery wiring up your nose? an image that will keep me up tonight - yes, in utter amusement.

If you were a bit taller, I'd combat you, verbally.

Why, even just a few inches taller, and, why... I'd lay WASTE to your arguments.

Waiting for the Venn Diagram - you really suck at these presentations - "liars with statistics" was supposed to be fun. Once this asteroid hit Winnipeg, and it was all I could do to stay awake. "Wot? another blithering asteroid? that's the 2nd one this century!!!" he exclaimed.
