When old, can a spider's legs still hold a wall? Can the ravages of time seperate them from their natural element? Alas, no, or if so, just for a moment. The next to hold the banner move as the shadows and stain mark the last touch of winter melting into the soil.

I just ordered what looks to be a fantastic and obscure music CD -- Tuvan throat singing, in the form of Huun Huur Tu's 60 Voices in my Herd: Old Songs and Tunes of Tuva. Much to my surprise, a review of the CD tells us that they at one type collaborated with Frank Zappa (!), and that one of the songs on the CD is intended as a tribute to him. As usual, I got it now because I usually get something extra when I buy something that's mostly functional on Amazon, in this case a nice scale that I'll be using to keep track of my weight and body fat.
