Subject: Slide rule sighting -- hearing, actually
Bruce Coclburn's song "Starwheel" from his album "Joy Will Find a Way"
just popped up on my random playlist.

Second stanza, third line.

> Starwheel
> Music and Lyrics by Bruce Cockburn
>
> Orion's high in the south-west sky --
> You're bound to move on and so am I
> On this world we've had time to burn --
> how come nobody ever seems to learn?
> See how the starwheel turns.
>
> Crystal drift on the whistling wind --
> Constant change is the space we're in
> You may use a slide rule or a golden crown
> But nothing's worth it that you can pin down --
> See how the starwheel turns.
>
> Don't go playing no shell game with God --
> Only Satan's going to give you odds
> We're given love and love must be returned --
> That's all the bearings that you need to learn
> See how the starwheel turns.
