My wife:
"... hitting the _re-cycle-ing_ industry really hard."
Your faithful correspondent:
"_Recycling_ industry."
My wife:
"Yes. They're having real problems."
[an interesting consequence noted locally: Harvard, formerly *paid*
$10.00/ton by recyclers for the privilege of disposing of its trash,
will now be *paying* re-cyclers $10.00/ton for the privilege of having
its trash disposed of.]
Oh, well. Another addition to my already overly-extensive _Winter-y
weather_ list.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
