THE DANGER OF SHELTERING IN PLACE.

Your Stimulus Dollars in Action


Nothing says "I love you" more than nougat, except, maybe, nugget. Nougat or nugget, eh?, that's the rub. Which brings me to the problem of People with Elegant Wrists. They and their elegant wrists, they don't have to curse, they can't, really, in any event, curse, on account of their elegant wrists. One day, soon, it will be 8 / 9 / 10. That is, it will be August 9, 2010. There must be some -- finality -- on that day: A curtain raised and someone really peeved. "Ta Da!" even if the trick fails, the trick always fails, in real life. O, Big Old Water Tank. Why a Big Old Water Tank and not another form of liquid delivery? Some daredevil will always want to scale it, A., and B., someone will write an unfortunate Ode to His Hometown Water Tank. Will it say "Shibboleth?" it will say "Shibboleth." What can you do, but incorporate some peat humus into the topsoil? You will never be the same, thereafter, but the topsoil will always be the topsoil, just a bit more peat humussy, and awaiting, with some -- finality -- The Drought.

Personally, I'd be more worried about 3/2/10 than your 8/9/10.

Peat vs. the Drought: will Laphroaig survive?

3/ 2/ 10 -- a bit of a stretch. Some shibboleth, I believe. ----DG

Sneaky Peat at that.

The Laphroaig -- endures.

Whenever I think "diphthong" I think "thong".
