It is a misconception that Thoreau, New Mexico has much, if anything to do with Henry David Thoreau. Traveling in the early morning hours, before sunrise, one might experience (first hand) a feeling of....smiling.

I've never seen so many hawks in Oklahoma as I did today. The experience was definitely worth the turnpike tolls.

Remember that the last word of a sentence has to be the same as the first word of the next. So we have:

Smiled, read the wall poster, when it should have read 'smiling'. (11)
Smiling with eyes only is not best way to encourage returning guests. (12)
Guests in nests, fonder of pests, rarely feel tense or bother making cents. (13)
Cents or pence, hidden in vents, are safe from thieves who can come anywhence. (14)
Anywhence words may travel, it is fair to say, my ignorance is sure to unravel. (15)


So I can't see where the sentences in the above quote box fit in. confused

I was attempting to discern if you were being childish or childlike. I went with the latter and smiled...you were beyond tense 😬 Lol

Pseudoscience and science are specialized words for the pursuit of knowledge, thereby perfunctory dismissal of either is ill advised. (19)

a connection to people, memories, and one's ideals. (18)

Ideals vary from person to person, and in the political arena they often clash, causing much dismay and acrimony. (19)

Acrimony and disarray is found on every news broadcast and
every network these days and is very discomforting and
hurtful. (20)
