Wednesday October 16, 2013 Sickish. At least partly Fall allergies, I
suspect.

***In my opinion, the House Republican leadership has done for
responsible conservatism what Frank and Jesse James did for the banking
industry. But now, at the last minute, they acted responsibly.

****October 15 Seawasp says:
"> Thoughts: Ability to transmit sensations other than sight and sound
might
make computer dating sites more interesting. 'This is what my [body
part]
feels and tastes like.'
"> I haven't seen this done in science fiction. Has anyone else?

"Well, that sounds like immersive VR with selectable transmission (for
your dating idea).

"OOO! How about this! Computer dating where your date controls the
sensations you can access! So like many games, you get achievements at
various levels of successful dating. *Bing* Your recent dates have made
_Your Date_ very happy. You have unlocked Breasts!"

I was thinking about using the Net to find people for in-person dating.
But this does sound interesting.

The difference between Frank James & Jesse James is like the difference between Saint Paul & Minneapolis. In worldwide terms, "Who's Frank James? Oh, then he's just an extension of the person we all know about: Jesse James."
