FLORIDA COMMUNIQUES: (Aug 7) "Last friday while working at one of the local tobacco warehouses, I made a horrible mistake and forgot to check one row of tobacco, altho I had insisted that I [underlined] did check it."

   One of my superiors ((of the capitalistic system only we presume)) called me down for this piece of inefficiency, and as a result I am very sure that GRAVE REPERCUSSIONS will occur, and that ALL FANDOM WILL BE PLUNGED INTO WAR!"

   (Aug 9) "Due to business slackage, my employer laid me off for several days. In addition, I have recently had an attack of boils and sore throat."

   Beyond the faintest shadow of suspicion, these awesome occurances are bound to result in GRAVE REPERCUSSIONS and I am now very positive that, before long, these conditions will change for the better, or ALL FANDOM WILL BE THROWN INTO DEVASTING WAR!"
                - Raym Pong

   "...Wars and rumors of wars..."

POEM: 

Each Day
Each new day, be it cloudy of fair,
Brings its own work and worry 
Some that you can shair
And some you can not.

Each new day with its load of cair
Is sure to bring some joy, 
Some unexpected beauty rair
To brighten even the dullest task.

Perhaps you cannot change fate
So make the best of what comes,
Do some good now, never wait
'Till tomarrow to begin it.

Each day can be a new beginning
To your life, you can improve it
If each day you keep trying, 
Always do the very best you can.
