    The only thing that would make me love this storyline more would be if I turned up in it. 🙂

    (TUNE: “I Will Survive”, Gloria Gaynor)

    At first I was a plain, simple businessman,
    But then I had a vision, had a dream, and had a plan!
    Add a number to my name,
    “Norton First” I then became!
    Yes, that was me, my empire stretched from sea to sea!

    And I did reign! And I did rule!
    I told the South they shouldn’t rise up, ’cause rebellion isn’t cool!
    To the city, I did say,
    “Build a bridge across the bay!”
    It was begun, and now repairs at last are done!

    I’ve worked so long, and faithfully!
    But now my subjects, they have spoken, and they want democracy!
    I have served my people well,
    (Least as far as I can tell)
    If they say “Go!”. I cannot bear to tell them no!

    So now I’m through! I will retire!
    Hang up my hat, yes that is that! I’ll have no one to call me “sire”!
    I can travel anywhere,
    Get these dogs out of my hair,
    They give me fleas! So take them please!
    Shoo! Scat!

    Well, Douglas Adams did say that the best rulers are those who don’t want to be

    Is his black color indication of great age for a zombie?

    (How long do Narboniverse zombies last, anyway?)

    So the Emperor is susceptible to the same dog problem as Doc Martin?

    Union between the living and dead could also mean consuming the living….

    Is Jose Sarria, the Empress Norton I, going to make a cameo appearance? I’ve always wondered what the Emperor would make of his wife and the Imperial Court.

    Ha, that made me laugh!

    Repairs to the bridge completed! Tell me another! They reopened the eastern span of the bridge over labor day weekend. I have to wonder what the rush was… Another year and a month and the could have coincided it with the 25th anniversary of the Loma Prieta quake. 24 years to fix a bridge… that’s about par for San Francisco these days…
