I have looked further into space than ever human being did before me. I have observed stars of which the light, it can be proved, must take two million years to reach theWilliam Herschel

Astrology has no more useful function than this, to discover the inmost nature of a man and to bring it out into his consciousness, that he may fulfil it according to the law of light.Aleister Crowley

After driving 30-minutes East of Seattle, I expect to see a great bowling alley. But, as we pull into the parking lot, all I see are pot holes, a horse and Amish buggy, and no cars to speak of- broken down or otherwise. Even the building is in shambles, needs painted and looks a bit haunted. The old road sign reading- Flicker Lanes- is half-burnt out. Seeing the building's interior lights on, I'm reassured that the place is open- but then again, maybe they've been left on by mistake. "There's LOTS of NICE bowling alleys in SEATTLE, " I said. "Why did we come ALL THIS WAY to go BOWLING?""I take it that you've never BEEN here before."" I don't think ANYONE HAS. I don't even KNOW what PLANET we're on."" I don't know what PLANET you're on either.. but the rest of us are on your ANUS."I half-smile, marveling at his wittiness.Giorge Leedy
