Humm. I was offered a drink which I declined, and spent the entire evening in an extended slide!"""
============================================================

Good morning! Or whatever!

I was thinking of another Percy, but that seems like ages ago.

It seems most of the thread was a useless slide, and by the time I came along, a lot redacted, once again I find myself blind.

I don't drink having stopped decades ago, except for a little Nyquil once and a while. Fortunately, so far, with most of the pollen season over here, I haven't needed to take any.

But I remember back in the days earning my wages traveling I would hear someone at the bar, boisterous, clamoring for attention, later hearing a thump.

Checking to make sure they didn't fall off their stool finding brown on their nose.

Well, off to tend to the fields of weeds while it's cool here, hoping to return to watch the Barr at ten.

I'll sign off with a few lines from a much earlier time:

"[383] When the Pleiades, daughters of Atlas, are rising [in early May], begin your harvest, and your ploughing when they are going to set [in November]. Forty nights and days they are hidden and appear again as the year moves round, when first you sharpen your sickle. This is the law of the plains, and of those who live near the sea, and who inhabit rich country, the glens and dingles far from the tossing sea, -- strip to sow and strip to plough and strip to reap, if you wish to get in all Demeter's fruits in due season, and that each kind may grow in its season. Else, afterwards, you may chance to be in want, and go begging to other men's houses, but without avail; as you have already come to me. But I will give you no more nor give you further measure. Foolish Perses! Work the work which the gods ordained for men, lest in bitter anguish of spirit you with your wife and children seek your livelihood amongst your neighbours, and they do not heed you. Two or three times, may be, you will succeed, but if you trouble them further, it will not avail you, and all your talk will be in vain, and your word-play unprofitable. Nay, I bid you find a way to pay your debts and avoid hunger."

"[405] First of all, get a house, and a woman and an ox for the plough -- a slave woman and not a wife, to follow the oxen as well -- and make everything ready at home, so that you may not have to ask of another, and he refuses you, and so, because you are in lack, the season pass by and your work come to nothing. Do not put your work off till to-morrow and the day after; for a sluggish worker does not fill his barn, nor one who puts off his work: industry makes work go well, but a man who puts off work is always at hand-grips with ruin."

Hope you enjoy(ed) your day, or whatever! ;)

MAGA
