That was beautiful, man.

Oh, I wouldn't write up "New York."  I've never lived there and only
visited once.  (It was nice, but I wouldn't want to stay.)  What I've got
is a short story set in NY, which provides soem glimpses into its OU.

If the City Swap was a traditional print book, "New Joke City" would be the
intro fiction.

If the reinstatement of capital punishment was clearly doing nothing to
reduce the number of murders in those states permitting it, it certainly
appeared to be cutting down on the number of confessions.
