Now the only question is, which order of infinity? Aleph-0? Aleph-1? Aleph-2?
Personally, I'd prefer an Aleph-infinity of hugs, but I'd settle for an
Aleph-0 of hugs:-)

BTW, if anyone wants to post an Aleph-0 of hugs, make sure you use a VERY GOOD
compression algorithm (perhaps a fractal). Otherwise the bandwidth in this
group will be a little high.;-]

Take care

Igloos? the last time we had enough snow to make igloos was in 1976 (if my 
memory isn't failing me). Now THAT was a snowstorm.

I think you underestimate the warmth of your snugs. It's now 11 C in T.O.! 
The snow is melting! Fortunately, I think that some of the 50cm snowfall will
still be around come Christmas day.:)

That's an intersting quote. I remind me of a poem I wrote way back in high
school. It was suppose to be a quick english class assignment (we were only 
given 5 minutes to write it). The sneaky english teacher submitted it to
the year book!


PEAKS AND VALLEYS
-----------------
Reflecting on the mirrors of time
I can see mountains of triumphs
And blue lakes of sorrow.
But between these peaks and valleys
there are many plateaus,
Where I can look down at the crystal
waters of depression,
Or up at the towering peaks of my accomplishments.
Now that I see my life,
As a series of peaks and valleys
I also notice,
That even in the deepest waters of despair
I can see the reflection of my triumphs.

I'm sure she can be.  It's just a question of being stronger-willed...
But then, I wouldn't expect a slave to understand that.

Hey Sinister (great name):

1)  Continue the story... (PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!  PRETTY PLEASE WITH LOTS

2)  Post it over to alt.cyberpunk.chatsubo (if you haven't already)...

Great sentiment, voluptua (Legalize the Weed Now!), but I don't think it really

to imply that strawberries, champagne, and romance will get you by just as well
as dope in times of no money?

Well, that's kind of the way it works in Billings too...  Seems like
the last few years I was there it was unseasonably warm, no white

Canada, we got snow in billings too....
