The Aliens watching you dude (OK, watching LA), but the 'cloaking device' doesn't work very well in moisture and cloud-cover ~ something about competing refractions of light to bend: where moisture is 'clean' but smog is perfect. Really kind of a fascinating study where theoretical physics (refracting light around objects, 'invisibility') meets slight-of-hand. You know, science is magic ...
Bitter Dull & Wretched Ed. sez: I'm sure the Martians aren't watching dull old me. Never been a "The Director of the CIA is following me personally" type. (I remember reading about some loon hiking a trail next to the Potomac who was sure then-CIA head William Casey had been following him in a canoe on the river.)
I've been waiting for someone to take pity & buy me a new camera (I assume it would be cheaper than repairing it, if that's even possible.) but no one appreciates my suffering or my art, & anyone reading this is a bitter impoverished old jerk him- or herself. No more charity or decency in this shithole country anyway, so it's wish in one hand & crap in the other, then see which piles up first.
