I don't think fame depends on how many people you work with, necessarily. Maybe he became famous when he worked in a big city, or maybe he's famous for writing a book (which can be done by yourself), or maybe he pulled off a particularly complex task and it was picked up by the news, where a lot of people saw it. I don't know who he was, so I can't give an exact reason, but those are some examples.

Random: I have an eye appointment this afternoon, and I'm going to try and find new glasses.

That's just inexact writing.The famous police chief who died would be missed by his colleagues and the public.

Ah, that would probably be it. Good catch.

Today I went on a walk in the woods. Upon reaching a part of the deep woods I was greeted by a chorus of frogs. To some poeple, a cacaphony. To me, an orchestra.

As I continued further i came across some legless tetrapods - snakes. I even saw two snakes coiled round each other ... making happy times. As I continued further I came across a snake looking out of its hiding place. It was a of a species not dangerous to man, so I put my finger close to the creature. I was hoping it would bite, as the fascinating experiance of it would make up for the pain. Instead, it simply cowered back into its den.

There are some really... nice pictures on DeviantART that pair the Knave of Hearts with the Mad Hatter. I like that pairing much better than Red Queen/Knave and Alice/Hatter. Hence my newest avatar.

Did you know Jean-Luc Godard directed an adaptation of Shakespeare's King Lear? I made a post about in the TV, Film and Video section.

I like cheese.

Took another walk today. Looked up at the stars.
I feel like posting some Emily Dickinson Poetry.

I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you — Nobody — Too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell! they'd advertise — you know!

How dreary — to be — Somebody!
How public — like a Frog —
To tell one's name — the livelong June —
To an admiring Bog!

I laid in the brush for two hours today, hoping to spot the bunny. No luck.

Rifle shouldered and binoculars at the ready.

Next time I might be lucky.

I have a chocolate bunny. I'm going to eat it on Sunday, starting with its ears.

He didn't save the multitude I see dead on the road by people who can't drive or don't care that they're killing something for nothing (well, I suppose the buzzards get to eat, but they're hit too).
