Dear sjm: What do you mean "up here" - you're way down there. I still remember vividly having it
explained to me at age four, by mother of the first girl I ever knew, that it did not make any sense
to talk about a top or bottom to the world. Which reminds me, I must now send an e-mail to that
girl, who lives three thousand mies away from me, in Florida. Over sixty years since I last saw her.
