Thankfully I'm back home in Bangor, now.

Seems like NY Times is making sure we know "lots of 'old famous people' are always dying", in an attempt to flood the celeb obits and push the Reiners off the page.

Color all the surrounding sidewalks, obviously. But maybe also use mockery to play into the opposition's hard line stance.
