Woo Hoo. We just passed the electrical inspection for the flood control system. Now the village has to come out and make sure there is no big mound of dirt and we can finally apply for the grant money that will pay for nearly half of the system. I can finally put Halloween away. Possum showed up last night.

Some of my answer.

Fascinating Mergenthaler linotype operator. could switch fro Arabic to English, which he did not speak.

Boulevard Pie-IX, in Montreal, Quebec, which covers X and Q.

Grew up in Polka country, so steeped in "Blue Skirt Waltz".

Not sure about Long John Silver, or most other pirates.

Parents married on spur of the moment. probably never loved, but made up for with 62 yoars of devotion and commitment.

DW still has a flower I picked for her Valentines Day, 6 yeas ago.

Thanks to a moderator for fixing this. and DW for getting it posted at all during a healh setback. I'll try to make it every Monday/
