Alaska Air was fine, I rescheduled from the red-eye flight to the late evening arrival. The word I was groping after to describe the character -- or lack of character -- of pattern matchers was: -- op·por·tun·is·tic ˌäpərt(y)o͞oˈnistik/ *adjective* 1. exploiting chances offered by

It is almost time (in geologic as well as seasonal scales) to take the polar route! Count the bears along the way? Or maybe the Drumpf can be talked into cutting a wide canal from the great lakes at the 49th parallel to keep those "unsavory furriners out of our Great 'Murrica Agin!" I
