MURPHY'S LAW: The snow
caused a delay in this edition of SBRNYCU. Monday morning
brought good news and bad news. First the bad news - the editor and chief
button pusher was stranded out of state (no air planes could
fly). Now for the good news - the stranding took place in... St
Petersburg, Florida! Another one of those dirty jobs! Living to
race, racing to live. /s/ Murphy the Racing
