where bounds the stage, when the birds have not anchors for wing tips?

and if they did, their nests would mound to the heavens

sharp intelligent eyes, and no fear for lack of bandage

Do something different or wait a bit and give the present feelings time to run their course and then proceed.

A deputy sheriff is being tried for murder of a dj here.

Just saying.

It took me 4 days to consume a 3 1/2 pound roast.

I had bought a 4 quart Presto pressure cooker for 5 bucks on the 8th at a SPCA thrift store in Davis, when I went to the WEF. The top seal and pop-in vent were intact, and I had a Presto vent cap from my Aunt Clarrise's household goods.

My foodstamp/ EBT card was reloaded on the 10th and I bought the roast, potatos, carrots, celery, bell peppers, and onion. I had previously tested the cooker by just building up a head of steam.

I cooked the roast beef a half-hour under steam, then turned off the gas and let it cool naturally. After venting and pressure equalization the lid was difficult to remove, so I just let the pan and lid temps equalize until I could open them. I suppose the metal mass of the bottom pan kept it expanded and tight on the smaller mass lid.

I just shared the last bit of roast with my dog. It was very good. I seem to find more pleasure in simple things these days.

Just saying it's justifiable homicide?

I never heard him play.

It's all bizarre.
We had the police commit mass murder here and no one was prosecuted.

He claims self defense.

Moonraker was the name of the tallest sail on the mast. The next one down was the skysail, I believe.

At one time I wanted to get a sail boat and circumnavigate the world... considering how easily I get motion sick, it is probably a good thing I never actually tried it!
