My photos from the gay pride parade have been linked from a Clinton-hating article syndicated around various conservative news sites, message boards, and blogs. This has resulted in a small flood of anti-gay comments (as well as a few friendly ones).

I'm somewhat sad that the pictures that I took to, well, share with like-minded friends are being used to spread hatred by people who are just looking to make themselves upset.

Oh well. On the plus side, this is the second time that a random visitor has recognized themself in an anonymous picture I posted. (The first was pictures from Halloween in the Castro a few years ago, while we're on the subject of things that inflame conservatives.)

Kevin insists that "themself" is not a word. I think that anything that gets 630,000 hits on Google must be a word.

In New Jersey things, well, it remains humid and thunderstormy. I have gone rock climbing a couple more times. There are fireflies out at dusk, which adds to the atmosphere when one is attending a dinner party on the porch or watching an outdoor opera, the things I did last weekend that I didn't write about. I spend my work time poring over integer sequences, looking for meaning in numbers.
