#6  Dammed if ai [heh, that one's on me] can see how (as opposed to why, I insinuated significantly) this would happen, but for months now me browser's input thingy's been amusing me from time to time with a very convincing impression of having had its dictionary and/or "finger-following" rules changed. This morning's themes: 1) certain words ("gay" and a couple of routine mild profanities) absolutely weren't happening, user's devious persistence notwithstanding, unless keyed in letter by letter; 2) unrecognized (or whatever) words were replaced with oddball proper names.
Also, Russian wheat harvest is in, breaking previous record. Wagner troops released from contracts to work in bakeries. Moscow tearooms flooded with delicious pastries.

#2  Next-door neighbor had some of his cattle get through his fence to our land a couple of years ago, and we are unfenced to a high-speed state highway; he had to get a bunch of Bree-mounted cowboys to navigate the greenbriers to herd them back before something tragic happened.
