everybody knows this is nowhere

Dromedaries are the one-humped variety, Bactrian have two. And as everyone knows, dromedaries rule, and Bactrian’s drool. They both spit, though. My favorite line from my very last DARPA proposal. More in a bit, insanely busy!

I’d been asked about my 2nd CFT proposal… here it is, in all it’s wordy glory: darpa-reduxxx.   Thanks as always to the DARPAnians and Mudge for the opportunity.
