jcbourne (Juliet C Bourne):
Woke up with a heavy head / And I thought about leavin' town
I could have died if I wanted to-- / Slipped over the edge and drowned
But, oh no baby, I won't give up so easy
Too many tire tracks in the sands of time
Too many love affairs that stop on a dime
I think it's time to make some changes 'round here
--don henley, "I Will Not Go Quietly", _The End of the Innocence_
[God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.]

Athena DECstation to the same command on a DECstation with enough
memory and disk space.
Quote of the day:
Actually, war is worse than Hell because they don't have
CNN in Hell.
But you have to admit, our bombs are incredibly smart.
In fact, our bombs are better educated than the average
high school graduate. At least they can find Kuwait.
