I know the whereabouts of several prime wabes, all within easy reach of public transportation. The exact locations, of course, must remain confidential.

Yeah, Rapaire, I hear wabes are as common in Idaho as are underage wives in Utah.

Actually, I was well on the way to establishing a wabe on the vacant property adjoining my own a few years back. (It's easier to not actually have the wabe on one's own property. Permits, licenses and all that, you know.) Then one of those pesky hurricanes we have around here blew down all the Tumtum trees on that acreage. They're starting to grow back, but it'll be years before one of them is big enough to use in a wabe.

There are quite a few unspoiled wabes here, but there are also bandersnatch. So if you want some wild g&g it's wise to set a guard, preferably someone you can do without. Of course, if you're afraid you can use one of the municipal wabes or one of the ones that have been commercially developed.

But you won't shout "Callou! Callay!" and chortle very much.

Try sliding a gong on the chest of a wabe.

I have my very own personal wabe. You could always do the same!

I find comfort in food, and find you can't beat a quick snicker snack, washed down with a glass of Beamish.

Like most folks, I experience an occasional desire to do a bit of gyring and gimbling. But when the urge to gyre and gimble strikes, I have to get in the car and drive for an hour to the nearest wabe. Then, when I finally get there, it's usually so crowded with slithy toves that I wonder why I bothered. It's a small wabe, and pretty trashed out by all the gyrers and gimblers who can't be bothered to clean up after themselves. There's a big pile of rusty vorpal swords under the Tumtum tree. It's so depressing that even the borogoves aren't usually very mimsy. Heck, the last time I was there I didn't even see a mome rath, much less one that was actually outgrabing.

Is this just a local phenomenon, or are wabes on the decline everywhere? How far do you have to go when you get the urge to gyre and gimble? I hear that wabes are so common in some areas that unsuspected people fall into them and are unable to start gyring and gimbling quickly enough to get out. What's it like where you live?
