Re: Television (no longer temporary)
Dave’s question reminded me of this poem we read in high school: From my mother's sleep I fell into the State, And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze. Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life, I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters. When I died they washed me out of the...

Text didn't say where the package came from or include tracking number.

I've been on two cruises in Europe on Royal Caribbean (both on the same ship as it turned out). Mostly we loved them because of the places we could visit on the stops.

The US has backed a lot of questionable regimes, but there is something about this one that brings in more intensity and hatred. Wonder what that could be.
