No more U. S. of A. as we […]
…If anything…… Â We got past 1111 (01-01-2011) without too much happening….. Â Today is 11111 (01-11-2011)….. Â Wonder if there is some great event or non-event supposed to happen??….. Â Usually someone or some group has predicted Doom and Gloom occurrences with abnormal letter or number sequences (666, etc.)…… If nothing of significance happens today, we better batten […]

I know Sunn is our official MR Community Coroner, but I think you might find this all interesting….. I just finished re-reading all 56 Short stories and four novels of Sherlock Holmes….

Did you know that the word “manure” comes from the French “main-oeuvre” and means hard work. I didn’t think so. Also, tillage by manual labor and today a dressing applied to lands. Confirms what I always thought. Hard work is a bunch of crap.;
