Good-Bye, Karl, Good-Bye

Interesting, that.

I'll be interested to see if and when they come up with a successor. Can't say I'll miss him, but by the same token, I wonder if they're trying to to cut back on the extremely recognizable fixtures of the administration—I mean, come on, who's heard a word about Gates since he took up the post?—and if so I wonder what for.

I don't want to take anything for granted with these guys, even if they give me something that seems to be a gift. In this case, I'd be up for looking in the mouth, if only I could see in.

We'll see.
