Fat David, Plus, Foodie is Baaaack; Also, Usage!!
Back, at last, after a long time away, and a road trip across these USSSS of A from St Petersburg to Albuquerque, a journey not noted for its fine cuisine, alas. So while I organize my foodie thoughts, experiences and pix, and prepare to resume, I thought you might enjoy this lovely image at left, forwarded to me, origin unknown. Clearly Dave has returned to his pillar in Florence after a few weeks holiday in the U.S.
Oh--also---consumed with following the Dem primary on line, I am once again urging all bloggers and posters to understand that "loose" means untied or unconfined, while "lose" means go down to defeat. Also--"led" is the past tense of "lead", as in "she led in the PA polls by 20 points a few weeks ago." And "lead," the noun, is the stuff appearing in all those Chinese-made toys. Thank you.
How did you know? For the longest time I had problems with "loose" versus "lose". When in doubt again, I will think of your explanation.
By the way: why did you mention it?

I did another un food-related punctuation and spelling rant a while back, re "it's," "its" and the plural of Clinton is Clintons. ( All from political blogs.)
So the red pencil lady returns.
