It's not our style nor our custom. Never has been, and I hope it never will be.>> I never said it should happen here. My point (I think) is that folks in the USA largely don't stop and smell the roses and just plain enjoy living enough. There's a more laidback feeling in every European country I've been to. And that even includes our Mother Country (where I had the worst cole slaw of my life recently). <<Naps or for old people. Which reminds me I haven't taken mine today yet.>> I have never been able to nap, except when I've been very ill. Closest I've come is falling asleep for 10-15 minutes while watching a ballgame on a rainy afternoon. I also can't sleep on planes no matter how much booze or dope (prescribed, of course) I down.

It was HOT and HUMID today! >> And unless you go to some of the truly redneck counties in north and central FLA, we are a mix. Remember, Orange County actually voted for Obama last election (even if throngs waited for my beloved Sarah to sign her book in said county too). << <<I would think y'all would be more worried about your Ghetto trash, and gangs than you would be about Rednecks. How come they never come up in your complaints? >> Would you like me to complain about them too? I would be very happy to because they don't fill my life with joy! >> I do wish we had less people and more open space (we have plenty in the hicks) in metro areas, though. << <<If they had a lot of open space they wouldn't be called Metros.>> We do have open space here ... I saw some of it today. It's just all sawgrass and water and critters (don't tell the big Commie in the UK this or he'll never come and that would make my mother sad!) >> Oh, and I wish our Disney parks were better. << <<I wish they were better, and your second hand experiences there, were a little more reasonable price wise.>> So, Pierce, it's been what? 18 months since your last WDW sojourn? You ever coming back? Waiting to color with Aurora?

(did The Spirit just write that?)

Lost will be very tough to be without. It is one of the finest dramas/sci-fi shows I have ever seen and one of the bravest chances taken in network TV in the past 20 years. The fact it is crafted by incredibly talented individuals (both behind and in front of the camera) who are actually wonderful human beings makes it all the more impressive. I really don't know how I am going to feel in 20 days when it's all over. I know the story has to end ... but I'm gonna be Lost without it. And Emmy better recognize that show this year!
