Grabs hold, an’ you chop him in two an’ his head hangs on. Chop him at the neck an’ his head hangs on. Got to take a screw-driver an’ pry his head apart to git him loose. An’ while he’s layin’ there, poison is drippin’ an’ drippin’ into the hole he’s made with his teeth.”
John Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath

Christine, I think you will appreciate this: http://bit.ly/GoreHopes … Now about to hit the road from Sudbury back to California in time to participate in Bill McKibben’s Berkeley gig http://math.350.org … Had a wonderful time in your neck of the woods. Many thanks to you and the many other Kanuck friends I’ve made along the way!

Time to chop the Gila monster loose!
