I suppose the obvious question should be tossed out first..where do you shop ?

I think the next question you pose is a fair one as it applies to SI. I was against the Ignore feature that was added to SI, I was of the opinion that the Next button served the same purpose. The process of learning is often compared to nourishment, that is fine as far it goes but I believe that learning only occurs when you clean your plate. Accounting transparency is the basis for unfolding the issues that you thrive on. We will not find tunnels full of evil Helvetian gnomes with a secret tunnel to Tibet, we may find things that surprise us, but I have already said that I think that is coming. Am I going to go and buy chicken feet because you suggest they might be good ? Are you going to Switzerland to look for evil gnomes ?

“Well—what is it? Anything?” asked Maxwell sharply. His opened mail lay like a bank of stage snow on his crowded desk. His keen grey eye, impersonal and brusque, flashed upon her half impatiently.

“Nothing,” answered the stenographer, moving away with a little smile.

“Mr. Pitcher,” she said to the confidential clerk, “did Mr. Maxwell say anything yesterday about engaging another stenographer?”

“He did,” answered Pitcher. “He told me to get another one. I notified the agency yesterday afternoon to send over a few samples this morning. It’s 9.45 o’clock, and not a single picture hat or piece of pineapple chewing gum has showed up yet.”

“I will do the work as usual, then,” said the young lady, “until someone comes to fill the place.” And she went to her desk at once and hung the black turban hat with the gold-green macaw wing in its accustomed place.
