I saw a teacher parent session once when the teachers were reminding parents how difficult it can be to learn how to read. They basically made up letters as shown in this strip along with pictures of, say cats and dogs, using the symbols. Then put up sentences, still using the new symbols and all tne parents were dumbfounded at the difficulty.
Definitely Iggy!! There’s the famous Nazca Roomba, the Uffington “White Roomba”, the Cerne Abbas Giant Roomba, of course “Roomba Henge”, as well as the “Roomba of Rhodes”, “Machu-roomba”, and “Temple of the Roomba” near the sphinx in Egypt, and the Norse Saga “Roombawulf”, “The 12 Roombas of Hercules”, the list goes on. (See: Eric Von Suction, “Roombas of the Gods”)
In El Reno, Oklahoma, it’s 9:15 pm and raining like @#*1!!! Foxy is so far under my seat I can’t reach her. We’re going to call it a night and find a motel. Love and deep gratitude to everyone!!!!

The Scottish Play, Sorta
Macbeth: Cry Havoc! Let slip the dogs of war!
Marc Antony: Mac, that’s my line.
Macbeth: It is?
Marc: Yep. In the play Julius Caesar.
Mac: Oh well. This above all: To thine own self be true.
Hamlet: That’s my play. Polonius said that.
Mac: Once more into the breach, dear friends.
Henry: That’s in my play, Henry V.
Mac: Very well. How about we go and have a wee dram of the good stuff.
All: You’re on!
