how lovely!

our friends at the Velvet Underground (we adore velvet) sang it best:
oh.
really?
of course.

if you cannot see that Transmission in your territory either ask mr. google for “Velvet Underground” and “sunday morning” or, knowing you (*winktocamera4*), go to your Vinyl Turntable and find the original album – b l i s s.

but we *did* take pictures.we always take pictures.

nothing is wasted.

which is sort of the point.
can’t waste a good tale.
not when it might help other people.
otherwise it was all for naught.
