and when we hear it again, it is remembered like a dream,
reminding us of a previous state of existence...
The voice of nature is always encouraging.

-Henry David Thoreau

You're not in Florida, and indeed, I have libelously claimed that the grackle in the road to be lazy.
Oh lordy lordy lordy! In this day and age, I'll be lucky if he doesn't hire up a lawyer and sue my butt off.
