Kim Jong-Un, the supreme leader of North Korea, claimed that, at his father’s death, he had been granted new Celestial Powers; he could shrink or enlarge the moon and did so every night, so that the Western Running Dog Capitalist Lackies and the world would understand his power. Jim Howie, from Amarillo, was pretty sure that he couldn’t really do that, but the moon did seem to get smaller as the night wore on. . . . . David, Sf.G.
First it had been the “Fiscal Cliff,” now the “Sequestration” with both sides blaming the other, and both sides making wildly different claims as to the final outcome and how to fix it. To Jim it was all about as clear as a foggy morning at the seaside.. . . . David, Sf.G.
The “For Sale by Owner” advertisement on the Internet had referred to the building as “Quaint”, “Lots of country charm,” “One of a kind” and the statement, “Need for some minor repairs forces seller to accept a lower price.” The ad also said “pictures on request.” It soon became clear why pictures weren’t included in the original Craig’s List ad. . . . .

It was clear as the crowd gathered that there were two separate groups, one newsreader thought MLK day, another the Inauguration, but the guy that actually went and talked to someone found out it was just a nice sunny day after weeks of rain and cold. . . . . . David, Sf.G.
Yolanda had heard Ralph speak about “skinny dippin” in the old creek at the farm he grew up on in Wisconsin with such fondness–even passion–that she was surprised he arranged their first trip to see the old place in January. The creek was there, but It didn’t seem like ideal skinny dippin’ weather . . . . David, Sf.G.
