>>They're having fun in Buffalo
6 feet of the white stuff I was told this morning. That would keep anybody amused. Sorry to hear some deaths, though. No matter how clever and safe we think we are, nature/the Universe comes up with ways to remind us who is boss.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
