> However, I can't agree with you, Grish, on
your comment about Ohio. I think it's far from
banal.

I only meant that it was banal *here*, where I
am, *today* in comparison to the scene Sam
described. I do love my state; I don't know that
I'd want to live anywhere else in the world, and
I see beauty in it all the time.

Heh. I just *knew* someone would probably
come down on me for putting that in my post
as soon as I had posted it, and I had a
sneaking suspicion that that someone would
probably be you, famous. :o)

Gri"one of my Ohio favorites are the sunny
mornings following a night of freezing rain,
when trees are all coated with ice and look
like crystal shining in the sunlight"shny
