In other news, in case you were wondering were Walt is and why he's let his crazy ME take over the blog, he's grounded in Austin, Texas. The winds are 50 mph down there, and it's snowing like crazy here in Chicago. Chances of getting a flight home tonight--zip, zilch, zero, . . . you get the idea. But unlike many fellow travelers, he has a room for the night.
So not to worry. He'll be back online.
