Hello. Hello.

Hey, John. Hi, Merlin.

How's it going?

Pretty good. Everything's different.

Always change.

I don't...

So different right now.

Everything's different. Yeah. You know, it's like Heraclitus says. You can never dip your foot into the same Skype. Hmm. If you sit on the bridge and watch the Skype go by, it will always be a new Skype. Whoa. And yet it's, and yet it's always the same Skype.
