The Varsity pens are good pens but not fine nibs. They lay down quite a bit of ink. I haven't seen them in a while.

We need to abolish standard time and keep DST year round. I hate it being dark at 4:00 in the afternoon. It's dark when you go to work and dark when you get home. It's depressing.

Sorry about the cold. This is a great series. I've read and re-read them all. I'm re-reading System Collapse at the moment.
