of thistles and fences

Darn those start thistles, anyway!

Robb ended up with a flat tire from all the thistles at the Vacaville
event. He spent a lot of time pulling the spines out of his inner tubes.

Here's a toungue twister that a lot of actors say during vocal warm-ups:

"Stanislavsky's little sister was a syphillitic thistle-sifter."

Stanislavsky is the person whose "Method" method actors use.

As far as fences goes....someone alluded to climbing over a fence this
weekend whilst letterboxing, and I wondered if that was the fence that
is now apparently enclosing the Art Deco Floral Depot letterbox in
Oakland. Was another fence scaled, instead?

We admit, twas us that scaled the fence in search of the MK74 box...
only now to discover that our lawbreaking episode was in vain. Once
we got inside we apparently just did not think outside the "box" or
fence as it were.... we are very happy to hear that the box was
rescued though!
