@crissakentavr.bsky.social : Hey! You must be almost as old as I. I'm told they abandoned that long before they quit teaching cursive.
I always enjoyed it but I apparently have an intuitive understanding of [American English] sentence structure.

I find much to admire in Strunk & White, but when the topic arises, I now recommend: Steven Pinker's The Sense of Style: The Thinking Person's Guide to Writing in the 21st Century. (He's a linguist, don'tchaknow.)

I'd wonder whether people had been out harvesting ice, but I guess electric refrigerators have pretty much replaced iceboxes these days.

In actual fact, I believe it had been finished by the time I took the photo, and the intent was for it to look like that. Sorta mysterious. Sorta avant. Sorta something.

Okay time for a new photo. Um, actually, a very very old photo. Over 50 years old, methinks. But I still like it.

Tell me about it. I'm still trying to figure out how to convert even a fraction of .eps clip-art files I own to something I can still use, or even to view them so I can figure out which ones I want to save. Grrrrr.
