The punch line

Had written that to investigate Qaddafi's death one needs Cherecher la femme. Never underestimate a joke. The Libyan problem  is multiple marriages. The colonel had a harem masquerading as a guard unit, but the rest of the country was not allowed to enjoy? more than one wife. These desert men believe that there is nothing better to keep a wife in check than a second wife.
The punch line is the stick Qaddafi received  up his ass...Tradition...

Elementary my dear Watsnow, elementary

Snow before Halloween. The weight of snow on the tree canopy, breaks branches. Elementary. Nobody taught me this in my twenty years of schooling.  Only now I realize why tree shed their leaves before winter.  So what about global warming?  This is the exception that proverbs the rule.

Sailing lesson from Edgar Allan Poe

When I was a kid I read thee or four times The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. What happened with this story? Haven't seen it mentioned once in the last thirty years. If I remember well, Jules Verne has written a sequel. This story taught me never to go sailing without a knife.
