I've never had to register or give information to view any
washingtonpost.com page.  And yes, I'm quite certain my browser
always refuses all cookies.

At the New Years' party at the Fabulous Bungalow, it was mentioned that
the people who had lived there before John and Kathi were packrats.

I'm glad to hear there's so much packratiness going around, as it
makes me seem normal in comparison.  Do I still have my elementary
school notebooks?  Twenty year old fliers for cons that never
happened?  Electronic hardware that's both broken *and* obsolete?
Manuals for broken and obsolete electronic hardware that I don't even
have?  Well, sure.  But I *don't* have any twenty year old grocery
receipts (well, ok, very few of them), old newspapers I picked up at
random in the subway, car engines, or banana peels.

After 25 years in my apartment, it's *still* more than 95% empty.
There are even places where you can catch glimpses of the walls!
As you'll see for yourself on Fifth Friday.
