LOL... Very true. I am moving further north to get away from all the
poluution the Ohio coal burners produce. Of course, only until we can
forcibly take over that state and put scrubbers on our newly aquired
units. We will distract your forces by creating a diversion in the
middle east, first. Gawd damned Reagen and his cutbacks. This was
supposed to be all cleaned up until Bonzo the clown arrived.
