this is a sort of off the wall answer... but sometimes putting out something that is totally off the wall -- get mind working in a better way..

there is the expression "by the nap(e) of the neck. (and i don't know which is correct, i think it is nape, but it is orally pronounced like nap.. ) cat carry kittens by the nape of the neck, and fathers and mothers place their hands on the nape of the their childrens necks to push them where they want them to go..

anybody else have some thoughts? nape of the neck morphed into nap of the earth?


my other obsession
