Not to worry, John.  Horses are just Donkeys with smaller ears.  I can take
'em any day.  But that's just me.  Scrappy to the end. ;)

Don't know what I am anymore.  Atheist is a term defined by those we oppose.
Doesn't say anything about what we think.  Big difference.  I'm opposed to
organized religion on principle, so I guess that makes me an atheist.  Ok.
No problem.  Wait... that might make you an atheist too in some circles.

Boy do I hate Texas!  23 days of 100 degree plus with 90% humidity - cake
icing.  But Texan's don't believe in Global Warming.  Go figure.  Wonder
what it will take?
