Some things only seem desultory until you realize there is a cause and effect or purpose. The search has resulted in many scientific discoveries.

Very interesting, Val.  I had this album when it came out and I'm ashamed to say that I never noticed that comment in the upper left-hand corner before.  I wonder if it was Simon or Garfunkel that came up with it.

In the 96-degree (35.5 degrees C) heat and humidity of this July 2nd in Mississippi, my movements may appear to be a bit desultory.
