Maybe I'd better give some e-mail from Saxon a boost.

Heh.  I noticed that too.

I have a spare bed too, though my room activates on Friday night.  I'll 
make the same offer as Saxon for Friday and Saturday nights, because I

My new reading is a newly-acquired crate of old Archie comics.  Even at 
an accelerated rate of reading Archie comics, this could last me years, 
if not decades.  But I now know the difference between the Archies' rock 
group roster on the cartoon show and their roster in the comics.

Let's take a look, if you will, at the Second Amendment of the
Constitution, which protects every American's right to shoot another
American.  This cherished constitutional right to shoot people and make
them dead is currently recognized in all fifty states, most recently
Florida.
