Floating down on tears and thoughts
Memories of times gone by
Passing like the shore
Never knowing what's in store
I'm going to cry me a river tonight. -

The following editorial was written by Garrison Keillor (Host of the public radio program A Prairie Home Companion.) and published in today's (wednesday October 4th) edition of the post gazette:
