I got told last week that ladybirds are STD carriers. I'd picked one up to put it outside the gym. Imagine the conversation with my wife if caught an STD from doing a good deed!

I get much pleasure from the mysterious detail in your material, Richard: Mrs. McCory's "curiously heavy" backpack...her asking for a ciggie yet admitting she doesn't smoke...the old plumber calling out the inscrutable word "Nogshong" (which I admit I tried to look up). This is the kind of stuff that gets my imagination going.
