Dan,

Dear Lord, it sounded easier in my head the first time. I did not mean to ask
for the bible in one breath. Please forgive me for I have sinned. How about a
short explanation as to *noses of snapping alligators*? Are you in distress?

I have not been out much of late and did not know they were back on St. John
the Divine. One of my more lucid UFO magazines reports that an alien body was
found on the scaffolding several tens of years ago. So much for urban
fictions. As far as I know all current reports are that NYC is falling down.
