    I shouldn't have laughed at that. But I did. A lot.

    God just put Mikey into the wall to make up for his brother's transgressions.

    Wait, there's always the chance that he'll change his mind and go back to Florida.

    1A CPs for most southern papers and papers with tracks.
    In Anaheim and Ottawa, maybe it'll get a mention on the backpage in the briefs?!?

    I'm thinking it might get a little front-page action down here, but he'll have to share some space with the UF to FU story.

    I just went to pick up a used exercise bike. While I was at this lady's house, her husband came in. One of the first things he said was that France died. He even knew the time of death. It was eerie, even if he was a southern stock car racer with a pick-em-up truck and a beard that tickled his breast plate.

    Wouldn't surprise me. He'd been in poor health for a long, long time --- private nurse, frequent overnights at the hospital. It'd be like any obit of a famous or influential figure who's lingering at death's door: You know he's going, so have most of the obit ready and just top it with when and how (if available) he finally went.

    Died at home. Given the health struggles he'd faced the last few years, it was probably a relief.

    Or, as Stewie Griffin calls it, "God's waiting room."
