Recently, a man came into the new Obama 2012 headquarters and felt compelled to ask the young man staffing the office, “How’s that Hope and Change working out for you?” The young man responded, “Just fine, sir.”
“No man is an island, entire of itself” – John Donne. When I started my business in Colorado some years ago, I was fortunate to get the help I needed to get water/sewage to my site, to have the roads maintained, washed down in the summer/spring and snow removed in the winter.

I enjoyed the article on Columbia and found it refreshing to have a window on the past rather than the usual hassles over water, taxes, global warming and Medicare. It was also interesting to see that Columbia once had its own flesh and blood Barney Fife.
