I'm reportiing antryg to the authorities for blatant semicolon abuse.

"Antiphanes said merrily that in a certain city the cold was so intense that words were congealed as soon as spoken, but that after some time they thawed and became audible; so that the words spoken in winter were articulated next summer." -- Plutarch
That quote was on the front of a literary catalog I just got; which work of Plutarch's it was lifted from, I know not.... but it immediately reminded me of you, Garnet, and all your chilly-climed compatriots up there. Down here, we usually get some form of winter, probably what you'd consider a wimpy version of yours. This year, however, it has been strangely warm. Last year, too.
