    Hi Vincent Campbell -

    "There is beauty in the bellow of the blast,
     There is grandeur in the growling of the gale,
     There is eloquent outpouring
     When the lion is a-roaring,
     And the tiger is a-lashing of his tail!

    Volcanoes have a splendor that is grim,
     And earthquakes only terrify the dolts,
     But to him who's scientific
     There's nothing that's terrific
     In the falling of a flight of thunderbolts!"

    Although I'm very happy we won that war and some damn aristocrat ain't on
    our money, it would behoove us, in these inflationary times, to adopt the
    two-penny, I think.

    - Wade
