Some Imponderables...

#1. Why Wouldn't One Have Netflix?
I have found some wonderful hard-to-find movies and television shows — like "Stargate: SG1," "Stargate: Atlantis," "Veronica Mars," and others — that simply aren't available at Blockbuster. Despite some minor problems, like the occasional unplayable DVD or a late arrival, it really is a major bargain. You end up paying something like 78¢ per DVD.

#2. Why would anyone live in Florida?
If you do, I think God has a message for you: get out! What with the heat, the hurricanes, droughts, alligator and shark attacks, Katherine Harris and Jeb Bush, the place sounds like the seventh layer of Hell in Dante's The Divine Comedy. Sure, it has nice beaches, and I'm sure the winters are nice, if you don't want a little old New England snow and four distinct seasons.

Of course, I'm biased. I think that Lincoln should have let the entire South go, for the benefit of the rest of the country.

That's it. Those are the only two that leap to mind at the moment!
