for the girls too fat and ugly to be a cheerleader, and too stupid to play an instrument and be a real member of the band.
This has been a peev of mine for years. The name of a file and the application which should open it by default are two different things. And stupid frikkin' MS filesystems and OS's can't get that through their heads . . . . why they didn't move the "extention" into a directory field (the way the Mac does) associated with the file . . . then you could name it whatever you wanted, and put periods in the the filename, and not have to worry . . .

In 1970, I had open heart surgery to repair an aortic ventricular aneurysm. I was 7 years old. I was on a heart-lung machine for the surgery, and my surgeon, Jay Ankeney, was undoubtable a denizen or Dr. DeBakey. At the time, open heart surgery was rare and extremely risky, and nearly unheard of on a child.
A few years ago, I had the chance to meet one of the leading cardiac surgeons in Chicago, and told him about my experience. When he found out a surgeon had done open heart on a 7 year old in 1970 he exclaimed "that guy must have had steel balls to try and pull that off."
DeBakey had a pair of big brass ones - EVERY time he cut into a patient, that patient was in jeopardy of dying soon, and dying from the procedure - a rock and a hard place. And he did it over and over.
While 50,000 people owe him a direct debt, we all owe him an enormous one. I for one will recall his blessings.
It's their choice to live in the middle of nowhere and enjoy easy commutes, lower costs of living, etc.
But we shouldn't have to subsidize it. And we do. Rural phone access charges on our phone bills, being one.
Rural electrification was another.
And if we pass legislation subsidizing rural broadband it will be just another case of the tail wagging the dog . . . typically through the US Senate, which is topheavy in members from sparsely populated states.
