Ia Saturnalia!
Trapped in Missouri

Hey. Been out here on the Ranch of the Damned for a week or so. No web access. More later.

Once again this year, I skipped observing the Saturnalia, as I find the ritual orgy not only unesthetic, but unsanitary.

To those who did their civic duty, I do hope you observed the proper (albeit insufficient) precautions.

Have been scurrying round various translators and bedammned if I can tell why you wrote *Ia* Saturnalia instead of the more usual Io, Saturnalia. Putting a feminine ending on an interjection, are you trying to tell us something?

typo/braino. Frantically typing in my ten minutes of web accesss...

Or maybe I was confusing "Io Saturnalia" with "Ia Cthulhu fthagn" (sp?)

(I actually prefer "bona Saturnalia" myself.)

Orgies optional, Tom.

Moose out front shoulda told ya.

Besides meeting his scheduled end in a few score more billion years,
the mortal Helios has an excruciatingly boring job. I shall take my
three score, ten, and out and not envy him in the least, poor fellow.
I prefer to take my chances with putative promises of the desert God (and the music of Otis Day & the Knights),
but admittedly, that's just me.
