Dave, besides questioning words I like playing with words. It's not easy being childish at my age. I have to work hard at it. If you lack a sense of humour and don't want to think hard about the words that we use carelessly, then I apologize.

The two loads of washing that I hung on the line last night are nearly dry. Then I am heading out to a family farm near Windsor Nova Scotia that doesn't have internet hookup for a few days. I trust that you won't think it cowardly of me if I don't reply.
