i've got a spare laser cutter controller that will work with RF tubes... there's just a thousand miles between the controller and the tube.

suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
