OCEAN PLAY AREA RULES: No running, no horseplay, no megatsunamis, and no trying to pry the wreck of the Titanic off the bottom.

A monopolist's second preference is to be regulated in a way that only it can comply with - and that none of its competitors can comply with.

All around the town, the pixies and the Zippies were zooming, their high-pitched, tiny voices trailing behind them like streamers of sound.

Kissed the Boys and Made Them Cry….
