Ask a room full of people how many have wanted to try some crack, for a show of hands. If there are 600 people in the room and 29 of them thought about it, you will see twenty-nine palms.
Got a turnout of twenty-nine palms on crack use last night, usually I get about three, four out of 600.

Though nobody had ever tried to repress her, she was irrepressible, since she was the one trying to repress them.

Fires don't just come from lightning, so the same is true of forest fires. They're as likely to come from industrial sources, or from humans, just like city fires.
Fire is as likely to come from arson as it is anywhere else, and it's a little suspect when someone tries to get somebody else to quickly rule out arson as even a possibility rather than as absolute, the way some writers write stories in the news about how the fire is thought to or does absolutely come from lightning, without offering any other realistic possibilities. Does telling people a fire came from lightning rather than arson or another source really make them feel safer when they can end up just as dead from a fire that started from lightning? Theres no good reason people shouldn't question or speculate about where forest fires came from, especially when it's all over the west coast, which is unusual most years (even for fire prone areas). Its as possible that someone that doesn't hold trees sacred or thinks of them as matchsticks would have an interest in burning them as it is that an industrial accident, electrical accident, or lightning caused the fires.

A dress doesn't make her a lady, and that's true common sense and not what scientists/the media/government officials/healthcare officials/the WHO are calling common sense these days.

Someone you never took a math class with that ended up being your math friend, at least in your mind they were your friend.

One of the reasons the sandhills is a great place to live, since sandhills golf is more interesting than city mailbox sports, as long as the mailbox stays open while you're on the hole.
The closest mailbox will usually be a par 11 or higher, so you can play sandhills mailbox golf all day long if you're playing 18 holes.
