State Bank & Trust in Fargo, ND, gave each full time employee a thousand bucks, and each part-timer, five hundred, to Pay It Forward. This was on top of their Christmas bonuses. I think that is wonderful.

Some people sneer that those folks will probably just pay their heating bills.

I believe there are going to be a lot of Random Acts of Kindness out there soon. I know there are rules in place. After all, with great power, comes great responsibility.

I love it. I just love it.

How else can we change the world?

A Lifer at The Spectrum,
He said,
I'd have newsprint on my hands,
A bottle of scotch in the drawer.

Lucky for me, I don't flounder.
I read the cross-country papers online each day,
And there's a bottle of rum on the counter.

Best of the Midwest and NDHSSTA,
Gifts must not mellow.
I fill twenty-four hours a day,
With every ounce of my Yellow.
