Which Reminds Me

Yes, well, aren't you so lucky, those guys who work in the back office of the city planning department, you who process all of those development applications and have more data on file than any of those clueless activists can possibly imagine even in their worst nightmares. But we persons of the public cannot handle such an overload of information. All of those top secret reports, we cannot process all of that data at one glance. We really don't care to know that much about every little easement and right of way issue on the planet. What is the deal with UFO sightings? Where did you hide the flying vimana? Reverse engineering the flying saucer are we? Is there anyone living who can translate the hieroglyphics in the cave? You really shouldn't take that so personal, because anyway we only want to know the context. What is important? Who cares? So we have to wait for the real information to dribble out little by little from the authoritative spokespersons who really know what they are talking about. In the meantime, we watch these strangely unsubstantial, repetitive and uninformative videos online and cannot help but wonder what really happened, because probably something did happen in a way, but it is not so easy to explain that absent a proper context. Needless to say.
