I am a legendary sleeper. If I can't sleep, there is something seriously awry. Thunderstorms, firecrackers, volcano eruptions....nothing disturbs me. One night while I was comatose, Farley was invaded by an alien.
I had been thinking and dreaming about invasions anyway. Invasion of privacy. Invasion of Iraq. Perhaps an invasion of Iran? The disquieting ideas in my dreams had been provoked by watching a CNN program. Various politicians interviewed seemed to find it very inconvenient that we had a Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. Then I awoke to find poor Farley, my computer, in dire straits.
