You are one funny lady! No wonder Faldage is head over heels with you.

(Will this fawning exempt me from some flogging in the near future if I dare revive a thread that has 800 posts in it? Will it? OOps-- sorry, I should be in the questions, questions thread!)

Thanks for the Bireley's link, wow! That's the one! And to return the favor, since you also live at the coast, here's a link from a fascinating article in a recent Smithsonian about a man who conducts scientific research by assembling data from the flotsam and jetsam accumulated by beachcombers around the world...soda bottles are a favorite item. Anybody who lives at the coast should enjoy this one.

article in a recent Smithsonian .... (re) flotsam and jetsam accumulated by beachcombers

There is something weird going on .... I read the article yesterday!

Regarding the Full Moon :
Herewith an account from when I was actively reporting :
On one summer weekend the record of activity by local Police Department was particularly heavy with "nutcase" incidents. I asked rhetorically "Was there a full moon over the weekend?"
Sgt. MacDonald gave the definitive answer : "Every day is somebody's full moon."

If this quote is original, Sgt. MacDonald should be inducted into the pantheon of quote-makers, poste-haste.
