The Internet

[Spider John]

I have considered starting a thread as an ode to the internet for some time. Living in rural West Tennessee, I have access to so many things that I never had 15-20 years ago. The only time I saw the P-D was when I came to STL. I would sometime not hear about any trades or signings until spring training games started(thankfully, KMOX and then ESPN helped with that some before the net came commonplace.) The ability to access info on most anything in seconds, find most any merchandise you want, and have the ability to say shaddup Leroy, swap Eagles or Jimmy Buffett lyrics with Hungary Jack, or have access to the stories of life from docellis, TTB, and drunken kyle is a priceless addition to my life. Thank you Al Gore!
