Yours is a very close second:0) In fact, that's where I discovered your voyaging thither. I'm glad you stopped by. I'd written a little something to coax you back onboard and it's with relief that I may let it rest in drafty obsurity and needn't disturb the universe by tapping the 'send' button.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548755592157386484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20316869.post-1160193828848423672006-10-06T23:03:00.000-05:002006-10-06T23:03:00.000-05:00This Thoreau seems to the point:...I am sure that ...This Thoreau seems to the point:<BR/><BR/><I>...I am sure that I never read any memorable news in a newspaper. If we read of one man robbed, or murdered, or killed by accident, or one house burned, or one vessel wrecked, or one steamboat blown up, or one cow run over on the Western Railroad, or one mad dog killed, or one lot of grasshoppers in the winter- we never need read of another. One is enough. If you are acquainted with the principle, what do you care for a myriad instances and applications?</I>Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03820693522030084335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20316869.post-1159966795643203532006-10-04T07:59:00.000-05:002006-10-04T07:59:00.000-05:00Ah, yes we'll be dropping in at Lehman's in the ne...Ah, yes we'll be dropping in at Lehman's in the next week or so.

Print media only.
