Wonderful! My copy of "Conversations with a Motorcycle", safely stored in the USPS system, must have doubled in value by now. <br />Regardless of these monetary considerations, I hope all is well and that the flow of rum will soon be augmented by the flow of electrons in you hydro line. Where I live, up north-west from you, Sandy had blown away all the predicted rain and we are enjoying another spring-like day. You get the rum, we get the outdoorsy weather. <br />My heart goes out though to all those who get/were really hit by this storm.<br />Hope you are not one of them, Jack. <br />Greetings from BeMoreDoLessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-76784491645927483842012-10-30T13:11:55.077-04:002012-10-30T13:11:55.077-04:00Supporters of the Candidate Who Believes In Magic ...Supporters of the Candidate Who Believes In Magic Underwear say these things are Gods way of cleaning the Augean stables of idolaters and sex mad motorcyclists and poofs who want to get married. I'm not sure which group you ascribe to, possible even the Morons themselves when faced with death by hurricane, but in any event rest assured your travails will come after the storm is forgotten and you have to clean up. Which usually involves a lot of bending over I'm sorry to say.<br />Enjoy the rum and chocolates and I'll send a live iguana for iron rations when the posts are running again.<br />Thanks for not answering the phone.
