thoroughly bad, in so many ways
The quote:
-The news of the rescue of 12 miners trapped by an explosion in a mine
in West Virginia came like "a screaming comes across the sky," to
borrow Thomas Pynchon's famous line. It has happened before, but there
is nothing to compare it to now.
--- ever notice how line 2 gets no respect, even here it isn't
included in the quotes.
(OT I watched Rita Crosby unfold that story, it was sad in so many ways)

Just bought a new copy of GR, OMG it is bee-yootiful!
The cover has flaps, handy for bookmarks, or paperclipping a map of London onto
The paper is gorgeous
WOW MOM
