This is a plethora. See the flurry? Of posts? "My friend Flurry." "'Fury?'" "No, Flurry."

I'm going to create my own dictionary. Words will be, for the first time, classified by "TYPE". Seems appropriate, doesn't it? Screw this verb and diminutive particle partisipple crap. My first two classes, will be "Tiring." and "Hard". Tiring: flurry. Gets so long by the time you're done it cen't be repeated. Maximum rating. Hard: sphere. Require inhalation and spitting. Maximum rating. BTW, words will also fall under cool categories, and "Unconjugal."

Well, just finished (maybe half an hour ago) unloading and stacking the last of the cord of wood I bought today. Mixed hardwoods, they cart it away when they cut down trees. It took three Rover loads (that's Land Rover Discovery, by the way, costs about half what a Range Rover costs). Did much of it by myself, Chris helped load the first load, but I unloaded, I did the second load by myself, and loaded the third load but Chris helped unload ~ in the interim, he took Ben to the orthodontist. That ought to burn a few calories. They let me pick out the cord I wanted, so I told the lady that someone had told me that poplar smelled bad, and how could I tell if any were poplar. She pointed out some wood that was stacked that was sort a greenish white color, so I picked some that was mostly reddish, which looked like red oak, one of the few hardwoods I can recognize. There were also cords that were mostly a creamy tan that I think were probably white oak, but I wasn't sure. Anyway, it's done now, so that's that. Some of the pieces had what looked like either carpenter ant or termite holes, but I banged the pieces around and scraped at the soft parts, and nothing came out. And some of the pieces had tree fungus on the outside, not sure what to do about that. I don't know how old the wood is, some of the bark had green moss. I guess if it smokes and refuses to light, it's not aged enough. Very, very tired.
