Chief Moose and the half-life of my wine glasses
Firstly, it would appear that Chief Moose (of Washington sniper fame) is writing a book about it and the Guardian have picked some of it up. From the excerpt I can conclude a couple of things. Firstly, it's one of trashiest pieces of self indulgent writing I've ever read (and I've read Greg's and my own journals ;) ). And secondly, it could be abbreviated into the following paragraph...

"We found some fingerprints and traced them to John Malvo. We saw his guardian was John Allen Muhammad and that he was an expert marksman. We looked up the car registered to him and went looking for it. We arrested him with his car."

...stand back Agatha Christie.

But enough of such piffle. I have become aware of a very strange phenomena regarding the nubmer of wine glasses that I own. It would appear the half-life is about 6 months. I know this because until recently I had four (from the original 12 I bought at various times) and was down to three and got some more. And immediately (and I mean as I was unwrapping the new glasses), I manaaged to knock a pot onto one of the glasses on the draining board. So now I have six. Thinking back it appears to me that the number of wine glasses I own halves every six months. So mark this day (as of October 15th 2003 I have 6 glasses) - by April 15th next year there should be but 3 remaining...
