Have none of you guys ever been to Chicago? I used to live in an apartment building on the river that flows from the lake and down the river, out into the hinterlands of Illinois. The thing is, it didn't always flow that way. The river *used* to flow, as all rivers do, downstream into the big lake at the bottom of the geographical pit. But at some point the good people of Chicago decided that the river was carrying too much effluvia and garbage into the lake, so they just reversed the motherfucker. It was a remarkable engin- eering undertaking, and I salute that, but at the same time they messed with the ecology of an entire multi-state ecosystem. Who *knows* what the long-term effects of that were, or will be? To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
