Small world! I went to UB as well! A little later than you admittedly...

I have fond memories of the Blizzard of '77 too, though I was in elementary school at the time.
I think I had a whole week off from school!


Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck.”
