The letters of our thoughts are the ideas present in our mind before they come to realization . . . Thoughts that are, yet not felt . . . The words of the subconscious . . . of the soul . . .

These are the LETTERS OF MY THOUGHTS.

Blogger Specific Spam?

I'm used to getting oddly written spam messages from foreigners - I'm sure we all are . . . it's part of life online . . . But today was a first - a message offering me not stocks and bonds hidden in a swiss bank nor the wealth of Nigerian prince.
No - this was an offer to be interviewed for a pakastani web-site . . . that even seems to exist (I take no responsibility for vlicking through to their site - though it did seem normal when I viewed on my phone)

BS"D

Tell him that if his cousin in New York is ready to give you a free ride in his cab, then you will gladly consent to an interview.

Each word = 1/10th of a mile.
