There she is. Sitting at the far end of the bar, watching folks as they stumble around: juke box to pool table to bartender to juke box. She's thirsty -- anyone can see that. And you're flush. So go on -- buy her a drink. Who knows? -- she might just tell you a story. A story we like to call: Clowney. Watch the skies, -CV.

Journey with us, won't you? ...to the icy border between East and West, where an unnamed man and woman stand on either side of the line discussing guns, knives, chemicals, blow darts, and trained killer thrushes.

*********************
"For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." So wrote Paul the Apostle, in his First Epistle to Timothy. And I think it's fair to say, that's his opinion and he has every right to it. Bill Cassel takes the other side of this lively point-counterpoint in today's heartwarming segment: Everybody Loves Money.

note: For the bandwidth challenged, we're also offering this piece in three bite-sized (1.5 mb) morsels: Part A, Part 2, and Part the Third. Watch the skies, -CV.
