The Mississippi's mighty
But it starts in Minnesota
At a place that you could walk across
With five steps down
And I guess that's how you started
Like a pinprick to my heart
But at this point you rush right through me
And I start to drown

Some schools have banned the Dr. Seuss book "Hop on Pop" because they say the title promotes violence. Really dumb.
Look what happened in 2014 in Toronto, eh? Somebody asked the Public Library to ban Hop On Pop and six other books, eh? The ignorant schmucks who want to ban books have probably never read any of them. They're just offended by the titles. On page 41 of Hop On Pop,, Pop tells his two kids "STOP. You must not hop on Pop." There ya go!

Yeah no thanks. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law did it, and highly recommend it. But hell no.
This coulda been a local news tidbit years ago but someone that worked for a skydive company around here (I forget if it's NH or Maine - think it's right on the border) committed suicide jumping out of a plane.
...pause...
Ok I'm back. Looked it up. He was a skydive instructor and killed himself while diving with a student (the student survived). Weird weird story.
