There is a Museum of Bad Art around here. I am curious. _

Took the train to Newark for a meeting and back yesterday. Saw many things from the train. In the morning, there were herons and egrets everywhere. In the evening, kids with fishing rods. Apparently they work in shifts. Also, the meadowlands are spectacular around 7pm. There was one rusted out truck from the 50's on a road/path through the reedbeds, with a view of some skyline or other over it. On the way back, feeling sorry for myself, discovered the retired woman sitting next to me was on her on her way back from Budapest, and had been awake rather longer than me. Also a conversation between seedy sounding businesspeople (I can't help it, jersey accents don't inspire confidence) about some medical testing device they were trying to sell to psychiatrist's offices. they also belittled the social skills of their (non-present) genius asian phd physicist programmer, which rather set me against them. They then settled in to talking about their boats and beer. That is all. I am barely awake, having left at 4:30 and returned at 11:30, and should probably have taken today off, rather than staring blankly and tentatively fouling things up. _

NPR just nearly killed me, by playing a tape of somone reading the indictment...

On or before Aug. 3, 2005, at his residence in Washington, D.C., Jefferson allegedly secreted in his freezer $90,000 of the $100,000 in cash provided by the CW as part of the front-end bribe payment to Nigerian Official A.

There are some verbs you just have to be careful with. Secreted is one of them. Maybe if they'd stressed it a bit differently.

Here's the text. _

Wait, was that a pipe organ? Hold on a minute. I may have to reconsider Arcade Fire. My problem with them was always a texture thing, and, well, pipe organs! Is there much of this pipe organ, or is it just a song or two? _
