Oh how I need this post today. I bet a lot of other folks do, too. Thanks, Mary! Gotta go now. I think there's a fax coming in....

"Could have been worse"! I remember a poem or an essay that your read about how Iowans always look at things that way: "Could be worse"!!! This story brought that great observation back to me.

Thanks, Mary!
