So here it is- the day of the great Sequestor- the radio newsperson woke me with those words, the television news people have loudly hashed and rehashed it since I've been up. Trevor Normile quietly, calmly collected the facts and compiled a sensible article for page 1A of the 2/28 edition of The Duplin Times. The process so affected him, that his op-ed article on page 1C was inspired by the process. I have to agree at this point that his solution may just be the best....GODZILLA!!!!!
