You too? La! Small world.

I'm curious. In your opinion, who might you consider to be the public transport gods? I've always suspected Hermes. A number of the correct attributes line up, excepting, perhaps, swiftness. I'm also wondering how you think one might appease them.

If I may mention a separate matter, one of my neighbours seems to be a collector of various detritus, and also deranged. When I see him at night, he is plunking away at a piano by the window. The rest of the house is quite full of empty cans, bottles, bits of paper. And he's posted signs on his door and in his windows. The most memorable of all reads, "They shoot me with lasers," but the others are also quite good. An organised group of Satanists within the media believe him to be the next messiah, and so they plague him by illegally turning off his utilities. Although they've been taken down, my favourite of his missals were a few in which he proclaimed himself to be the product of the union between Aphrodite and Hermes; he calls himself the physical incarnation of Hermaphrodite on this plane. Of course I know better than to encourage the crazy people, but if I didn't, I'd almost like to stop by and introduce myself.
