Sorry, Moose,
Those are just too damn depressing. I'd send a photo from my world, but I don't
have the energy to lift the camera. It's snowing again, a wet, sloppy snow
that's sticking to everything. I may have to break down and take the camera out
for some wonderland pics, but I swear I ain't thinking of it as wonderland much
anymore. Seems like a couple hours of every day for the past 27 years has been
spent shoveling snow, and I've lived here only 19. <g>
