WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
The following posting is not for the faint-hearted, or the ill-humored.
It is, however and in my opinion, entirely appropriate for this time of
the year... Since this is the midpoint between the Equinox and the
Solstice, when "the veil between the worlds is thinnest"...when Reality
and the Twilight Zone meet, and the Law of the land is "Trick or Treat".
(whoa, a rhyme)
(I did warn you)
