Speaking in Code

Walking into the art supply store, the skinny boy waved and smiled in recognition. I said "JT-21s". "Ah!", he responded. "Staples! Over here.." The other clerk was still trying to figure it out as I put my quarters on the counter.

Progress Report

I'm wintering about three dozen plants in the basement sunroom. We'll have peppers on Memorial day!

Boom!

I hear people sounding vuvuzelas and banging pots! It must be because I now have health care coverage!
