From a long post by me to the fumbling-towards-ecstasy malling
list on January 5, 1995, during early waxing crescent:

rCL...the sun is like the small bright flame at the top of a tall dark
candle much of which has little effect on local gravity but much
effect at large distances, and I bet effect on local gravidity. ...rCY

I like the word, gravidity.

Of course I meant a higher-dimensional candle, and as noted
on my Salmon on the Thorns web page I did get a peek into
higher dimension(s) during my sun stare (which was partly
inspired, or predicted, by Sarah McLachlan's song Into the Fire).

I also have considered the possibility of space tectonics
as an analogy to plate tectonics.

Spinning, orbiting, at times crashing,
astral bodies, astronomical orbs and such
remind me of plates on sticks, and a circus.

Sarah McLachlan has a new song Gravity but it is not
about the above. :-)

- Cheers!

I take it that is you, Jay. So you got on newsgrouper OK.

I will be away for the next 26 hours or so.
