5. I just read that Rand was a speed freak for the last 30 years of her life.

6. I am going Galt ... right now
I'm going to take a nap.

For some period of time, DU will be deprived of my expertise.

A certain cat will, however, gain a warm chest to sleep on.

Try not to let DU collapse in my absence.

:hi:
