The Frogs were dropping like flies a year or two ago during a summer that wouldn't even qualify as mildly warm in most of the U.S. And I remember some British friends of mine screeching about how they were all gonna DHIE about a decade ago because the summer temperature in their green and pleasant land had risen above 70F. They oughta spend a few August days in Phoenix, I recall thinking. > At least it's interesting talking to the cab drivers, here. > One told me all about the Russian diplomat he drove around, > who laughed at the EU's stupidity for letting in so many > poor little countries, predicting economic stagnation for > Europe, if not actual collapse. Good! That would serve the arrogant bastards right. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

And when the tabbouleh hits the fan, the scene in Yurrup isn't going to be pretty.
