   What does your suspicion that they are of “Middle Eastern origin” have anything to do with your comment?

   It’s been 20 years, that’s almost a quarter of a century!

   By now they are as American as you are…

   That fish isn’t dead.

   As for the fish being in such a pool. Have you ever been to a marine themed park?

   Now, that’s news to me, that HOA would control what kind of a pet a household might have. Seeing as this duck has never been outside, does the HOA control the contents of what’s inside the house too?

   Besides that, I would never buy a house in such a community. From what I read, the original and implied purpose of those HOAs was to keep them segreagated. The esthetics of the community is just a make work project for the kind of person who is nosy by nature, and who likes to spy on neighbors.

   We are lucky where we live, in that we have three small bakeries close by, and we buy our bagels, or other breads, or donuts, or muffins, from there, depending on the whim.

   Kirkman is 71, Scott is 68. They are remembering what kind of communication was in the days when their kids were Zoe’s age. So maybe in those days, notes were the thing.

   I’m in the same age group. When my kids were in grade school what they had was a journal, which had to be checked by the parents and signed off each and every day. Luckily our kids were always on the level, and very rarely was there some kind of trouble. Those journals are part of my kids’ life archive boxes. They took them to their homes when they finally moved out for good. Thinking about it now, it must have taken a long time for the teacher to go through every journal each day.

   Plain bagel for me, each and every time. When you taste a plain bagel you know if it is a real bagel or an imitation of one.

   If you follow Nate’s adventures on “Big Nate” it’s even worse on that site about the attention span. I don’t read more than two comments over there.

    Without looking it up: long time ago, our elementary school home room teacher explained that the English word “pied” meant that Piper’s clothes were sown with different colored materials so it looked as if they were sections of a pie put together into a whole garment. I suppose, today it would be akin to quilt patches.
