I read somewhere recently that the
United States Congress posthumously promoted
George Washington to the rank of
General of the Armies, and declared him to be permanently
the top-ranked military officer in the United States armed forces. That means that if resurrected, he could give orders to anyone in the military, and presumably they would have to follow them. This is an interesting, if useless factoid, because I am reading a
Philip K. Dick book about a guy who builds a fake
Abraham Lincoln.

On Thursday I started a remote desktop on Adil's machine. The machine is named
New Mexico, so I gave the desktop the id of
Land of Enchantment. I suddenly became very homesick. So much so that I closed my door and contemplated the place that I grew up for a few minutes.
