Winter Wanderland (follow-up to 11/17)

I was surprised that you didn'tstraighten out Val K'shai (Is that a real name? Sounds like something I used to encounter in juvenile science-fiction novels.) to the fact that you ain't one of the dreaded Baby Boomers. I guess civility IS dead. Today you can't disagree with someone else in a civil manner; you've got to get your bile up, your blood pressure escalating, and your vocabulary down -- laced with a good dose of name-calling to initiate the "discussion." I hope the power doesn't ever go off while Val is going full-tilt on his treadmill. (Rich Benyo, Forestville, California)
