The world is a wide array of variables. With enough study, one may find anything and have sufficient statistical evidence to back it up. It is only a matter of looking in the right places.
..well um, like, I meant to, uh, return the bottles and cans back for, uh you know, a refund, but um, like, the recycling centre center is, erm, like closed for, like, today and for, uh, this weekend…
So what’s next, Brass Orchid? A story about sailing out in search of an elusive white whale? A trip down the Mississippi on a raft with a runaway slave? Something about a murdered mockingbird? Or perhaps a tale of a witty and vivacious English girl hoping for a good marriage?
