After I released the 11th edition of Gravitation & the Electroform Model, passenger jets rammed the "11"-looking World Trade Center! Now that I have prematurely announced the 12th edition, I pick up a bewigged Donald Duck ramming New York State! Donald is a Quacks about Quarks symbol we are picking up in our terrestrial "cloud chamber". Meanwhile, a cat with a wig on in Alberta and Saskatchewan looks pretty mealy-mouthed over North Dakota. That I switched from a regular announcement about it to a "premature" announcement may be the reason the figure looks mealy-mouthed. I decided to announce only solid work presently available and to relegate notes on current projects to Premature Announcements. Finally, I discovered a basic mistake in a new model I was working on for weak decays, and erased my mistaken notes. They used to call Dirac "the Mystic of the Atom". Now that I am attempting to render T,V rishon equations in Feynman-Dirac format, but using MKSC units to compute decay and branching ratios, I seem to pick up a whole continental cloud-cover signal from above again, like a Duhbe-Mirac pointer to the pole star. Meanwhile, I'm highly tempted to write a practical engineering book instead.

I got my physics and math degree at KU in Lawrence, Kansas, so when I make baby-talk about a new theory of the weak interaction (most recently with a mistake, and so discarded) an image of me appears in profile with my tongue hanging out over KU, with a giant KU Jayhawk overhead showing its beak near the Great Lakes. Even my mistakes excite a track in the North American "cloud chamber", as if I were "The God Particle" or the 21st century's "Mystic of the Atom". I should have a stage act for it like Mark Twain. Of course, we know that even a walrus on a walrus breeding island can pick up images of walruses in the clouds above the island, so we shouldn't be too stuck up about it. It's what's news these days around here!
