Marcia, do you mean that you didn't instantly delete all of the messages
about state birds? You READ them?! You poor thing.
I extrapolate that any vulture that has to keep flapping to dislodge chunks
of snow and ice from its wings is displeased. I concede that modern science
has not yet proven the point.
