The earl and countess lie in stone,
Their proper habits vaguely shown
As jointed armour, stiffened pleat,

It meets his left-hand gauntlet, still
Clasped empty in the other; and
One sees, with a sharp tender [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=davidmcmanus.com&blog=845430&post=397&subd=mcmanus&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Actually, the installation of the cable went perfectly smoothly, it’s just that it refused to carry a signal greater than one 100th of the advertised speed.

Van Gogh&#8217;s Starry Night is the most amazing painting I have ever seen.
I have spent hours of my life just looking at this picture, studying every clearly defined pallet knife stroke. It is, in both part, beautiful and spellbinding.
