A DIFFERENT VIEWING ANGLE
Like some of the commentators on this article ( I know the geographical areas referred to in this article rather well), I must agree that the price of real estate often makes Thoreau-like musings irrelevant.

Dear Doreen: You are precious to all of us, and as far as health problems go, they are a real bastard. I won't retell my own history because most contributors here already know it-- and it doesn't add anything. What I have learned from my friends and relatives who have been ill is this: Everything o...

Bad joke from Bob Hope ( circa 1968): BH: Y'know folks, I ran into a Jesus-freak on the street the other day-- he broke into a broad grin and shouted: "JESUS IS COMING BROTHER!!"
