In 2006 I decided that instead of studying what I was supposed to be studying, I wanted to learn ancient Greek. I went to Black Oak Books in north Berkeley and found a Loeb Oresteia and an Oxford Thucydides; Berkeley is a good town for this. On my way to the register I opened the covers and, there on the flyleaf I saw "Don Davidson," Harvard '38 and '39.

This is what happens to the libraries of eminent philosophers after they change state.

Changing out the rear wheel on an ebike is a grandmaster challenge and I’m no grandmaster, but I succeeded by dint of wearing an impractical dress

I was googling for a pic of the Antikythera mechanism and it came out of my brain as "Ankylotheria device," which you don't need to try yourself because it's a big nada. No corroded gears, no crooked beasts! Pleistocene on the brain I guess.
