What Californians do to Avoid Walking in the Mist

Screen Centered Again Thanks to Advice from Helpful Soul on Google

I get frustrated with advice on the Internet for problems with email &c (the jokers who say "Give your social security number first and then reformat your hard drive"), but after much frustration I asked how to center the screen on the monitor and was told to look for Menu--and I found it at the bottom of the face of the monitor. Thank you, oh free advice master or mistress!

Cruz not to be sent to Guantanamo Detention Camp?

THE GUARDIAN:

Ted Cruz failed to disclose loans that helped finance 2012 Senate campaign 

 

but hey, he's a Senator now and we can forgive him, natural born or not.

Printers ask us to compose short new passage for MOBY-DICK. Why the hell not?

Note at bottom left says: "Can customer add to text which will assist us in making one line, as was the original intention. Please see author's proof."

Other notes are not by HH or HP.

"Cologne Attacks Intensify Crisis"--in Line at the Dollar Store, too

One of the longest allergy attacks in years came from the scents on the woman in front of me at the line to pay at the Dollar Store. Nicely dressed, drenched in perfumes.

Stakmori Funeral Chairs Bought in 1979

In 1979, freshly impoverished, I bought several folding chairs in Dover. "Funeral chairs," said Nancy Wingate. They served their purposes, and I still have two in the Oratory. Lately, after we began to have rain, I brought one down to the garage so I could sit while putting on shoes and anorak or taking shoes off. Thinking fondly of shopping with Nancy, the authority on funerary customs in Orange, Texas, and environs, I took one to the door and looked on the bottom. STAKMORI, it said. Altogether too explicit for funeral chairs, but how could I object, at my age?

I checked just now and Stakmore is still making chairs . . . .

I wonder what is on the bottom of the other one.
