1. What's going on with Karl??

[hatrack]

2. Heading for Greenland last time I looked . . .

I don't think Karl's going to present any problems!

3. I'd like to send another karl to Greenland

[hatrack]

4. Ah, if only!

I think a climatology team could use his services on the Greenland ice cap.

After they pull the drill bit up from 10,000 vertical feet of ice, Rove's job would be to lick the edges of the bit to make sure they were still sharp. They could probably free his tongue by peeing on it.

"Authorities in several counties, including Brevard, St Lucie, Martin and Palm Beach, began urging residents to leave vulnerable coastal areas, barrier islands and mobile homes, as they had done earlier for Frances."

Inlaws live in Martin Co., in a double-wide. Came thru so far just fine but I think they're getting tired of bugging out.
