	In a few more weeks you'll probably get used to it...
I'd be glad to have your mockingbird in the tree outside *my* window...
I'll do you a favor and accept it if you mail it to me (UPS preferred),
and I won't even mail you, in return, the railroad tracks passing by my
housing complex, and the midnight freight, or the 2AM freight, or the
4AM freight trains that go with them.
