twenty-seven years and one million words
Don't worry about a snowy winter in Toronto this year, I've bought snow tires so it won't snow at all. One of the things about buying snow tires late - you miss out on the sales *and* you get poor selection. D'oh!
In the wake of 9/11, we [in America] have made the decision as a society that we can never again create something in which we can take pride, for fear that someone will destroy it. Moreover, we must suppress any trace of individualism, lest someone have the desire to rise above the bland sameness that protects us. I have, alas, no idea how to recapture our courage.
