Well, there's little difference between a road and a street, but considerable
difference between a runner (a longish, narrowish rug) and a walker (a device
to keep an old geezer upright, so that he won't trip and fall on a runner).

Note that we're gibbering like this because nobody seems to want to comment on
this month's (rather good) crop of Shoot-In pictures. Full disclosu I won't
either, probably. Martha and I are off on Thursday to spend the weekend with
our daughter and see their new house and dog. ("On the road", ya know.)


Yes! I agree that this crop is generally pretty good.

But, I do disagree, I thought Walker was a Hall of Fame football player,
and runner a type of high speed boat used for smuggling booze during
prohibition.
