[TheForge] YAK - Please talk Missouri UP or down

[Tod Estes]

Bruce,
Aubrey failed to mention the number one reason to move to Columbia was to
get a little closer to that paradise on earth, Oklahoma.

> Bruce,
> My sister moved to Columbia a year or so ago and I've been to visit a
> couple of times.  The area around Col. is beautiful with trees and hills,
> lots of wildlife, great bird watching, etc.  Nice university town, which I
> like.  (I live in Norman, OK a university town of about the same size.)
> Culturally, they have a bit of the Appalachian hillbilly thing going.  I
> think I could live there happily, but then I've never experienced the joys
> of N.J.

Time enough for sleep in the grave.

"Prometheus: I took from man expectancy of death.
Chorus: What medicine found'st thou for this
        malady?
Prometheus: I planted blind hope in the heart of
           him.
Chorus: A mighty boon thou gavest there to man.
Prometheus: Moreover, I conferred the gift of fire
Chorus: And have frail mortals now the flame-
        bright fire.
Prometheus: yes, and shall master many arts
            thereby."
