?? what's all this hoobajube about renaming french fries or some such? i seem to have missed the story, excepting slight references to it...
and WOW about eecummings and the 6 hummingbirds. he's one of my favorite poets! wow, how wonderful!! last year, at my previous apt, i was enjoying my patio and "my" bottle brush tree right outside the screening (i miss her. but i have another bottle brush tree outside my l.r. window at my current place! sometimes she says hi ;) )... you know the bottle brush trees, they get these wonderful red "blossoms", which look exactly like *drumroll please* bottle brushes! :D
well, there i was, and realized there, that amazing flash, was a hummingbird, drinking out of the blossom!!! i'd never seen one before! it is still one of the most amazing experiences i've ever had. what is it about hummingbirds that is so striking and sacred? wonderful.... and i watched, entranced, holding my breath, as it drank, and touched on another blossom or two, and then ZIP, it was gone!
WASHINGTON - Show the flag and pass the ketchup was the order of the day in House cafeterias Tuesday. Lawmakers struck a lunchtime blow against the French and put "freedom fries" on the menu.
