We will begin with “Yesterday’s Newspaper” .. You all know.. The Newspaper that no one goes back to re-read.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

https:\/\/babakaps.net\/?p=82266<\/a><\/p>\n

In it we discussed Punctuation Marks.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In her comment to Yesterday’s Post, Gullible sent us the below “Original Writing” she composed..<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

On the Semicolon .. ;<\/em><\/p>\n

Behold the mighty Semicolon,<\/em>
\nUndaunted, audacious hieroglyphic symbol,<\/em>
\nThy name implies a power halved\u2013<\/em>
\n\u201cNeither period stop nor comma pause.\u201d<\/em>
\nBut something in between,<\/em>
\nAnd rarely understood.<\/em><\/p>\n

Power halved?<\/em>
\nAh, thy power to strike fear in the heart<\/em>
\nof one who dares employ thee<\/em>
\nRanks first amongst thy kindred marks,<\/em>
\nGenerations fear thee;<\/em>
\nGenerations avoid thee.<\/em><\/p>\n

Behold the mighty Semicolon!<\/em>
\nOnce upon the slippery slope,<\/em>
\nFalling inexorably into dis-use,<\/em>
\nRather than mis-use.<\/em><\/p>\n

Now is thy time upon the stage!<\/em>
\nThou will not disappear into obscurity,<\/em>
\nBut live in perpetuity<\/em>
\nAs a sly and winking emoticon.<\/em><\/p>\n

;>)<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks Gullible.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The other day I was waiting in a lounge. I had my camera up to my face, looking straight ahead at messages. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

This is important because no one thought I was taking photos because I wasn’t until ..<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Yes! We know! Only a few of you are interested in Survivor but Season 51 began Wednesday evening. Then, instantly and totally and completely, thirty minutes into a 2 hour Season Opener, we lost our Streaming T.V. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

After another 30 minutes on-line with my Lap Top and on-the-phone with You Tube T.V. we again had Survivor.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

This will be the only time that we will re-visit Survivor Season 51 here on dotnet. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Yes Oh Yes, we viewed Dalton Ross and Entertainment Weekly after the show.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“Captain Why Air this at all?” <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Because! Just.. Because.. !!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
