All the ipsd flyers flooding my inbox reminded me I've been out of the loop for a long while now. Hope you are all doing well.
McClelland's is gone, SPC is now Peterson...and there's still no tobacco-pocalypse yet. Any other big news?

Less woe in Wotton.
"Tell the truth so as to puzzle and confound your adversaries."
Seems to quite appropriate for pipe smokers, no?

I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer.
~ Abraham Lincoln

I think it's already started. Here's one of my favorites from Alexander Pope, which when you learn it in high school sounds like a humdrum old Sunday school lesson, but as you age and see all of the iniquities of humanity begins to show a resonance that is both stinging and profound:
“Vice is a monster of so frightful mien/
As to be hated needs but to be seen;/
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
/We first endure, then pity, then embrace.”
― Alexander Pope

I like this one.
" I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society." Henry David Thoreau.

Oh, and bigpond, you should always picture Cosmic holding a stuffed squirrel above his head when you read his posts. That's kinda big news.

The Arm of Orion
"The light at the end of the tunnel is the light of an approaching train".
My favorite quote, "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit"

Oh, man, I almost spray painted my monitor with cereal and milk from laughing. That's book worthy!
