Kim didn't want the b-sides album to overshadow Chris's record (or something like that)...well, we've got at least 4 months of waiting to go. Any confirmed tracks on the b-sides album? I'd love to see 'Kyle Petty, Son of Richard' on there... /\ /\ 'o' -The Cat _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

In other words, there's always this gap in our vision that is filled by the other eye, or, when you close one eye, your brain kinda fills in the gap. You can test this by holding your thumbs about 5 inches apart about 18 inches from your eyes and closing one eye; one of your thumbs sorta disappears. Anyway, I thought this might offer some insight into "Searching with My Good Eye Closed" Like maybe, with one eye closed, the narrator's object is occluded by his optic nerve. Sidenote for Chicago Sommsfest '96 attendees: I had my b-day dinner at Moody's pub Tues. night. It brought back some fantastic memories, like of all of us meeting (mostly) for the first time and then seth walking in out of nowhere.
