i dig this idea of the cone of uncertainty, the basic mode of hurricane forecasting. now it seems like there could be many a joke using and many a profound application of this concept: will i re-marry, get a guggenheim, die of cancer? well are these things in the cone of uncertainty? new freedom, pa certainly is in irene's. i'd really riff (you know: the universe is a cone of uncertainty, fanning out from a perfectly real, totally specific point, etc) - maybe i will - but i have a headache and my car and my dryer more or less died today: i shoulda consulted the cone before deciding to get out of bed.
