I contend that I could eventually come up with MORE than 130 reasons why I am personally privileged, but I suspect nobody would listen to any of my reasons. > The news says that you're getting rather a lot of snow. Yes, Madison, Wisconsin experienced a real doozey yesterday. Haven't seen this accumulated much snow for a single winter season in decades. I believe portions of the mid-west may be close to breaking their records. We experienced a major white-out - way more than a foot of snow in eight hours. Took me more than two hours behind my snow blower last night to reclaim the sidewalks and driveways of my neighbor's and my own. Thanks for asking, Thomas. PS: Yesterday in the mists of observing the whiteout I noticed several of my colleagues at work (who are of the conservative persuasion) who appeared to be positively gleeful. I gather that yesterday's winter demonstration was proof, from their POV, that Global Warming is nothing more than a crock hatched by the liberals, that Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth" crusade is a bunch of hooey. It would appear that they are enjoying their revelry while they can. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
