While fighting to get my eyes open today ... many of us in TN, KY, IL, MO, AR .... spent a lot of time watching the weather last night as tornadoes ripped through and warnings flew. I have not heard all the reports but know that in this area, tornadoes were on the ground in Logan, Warren, Christian (Hopkinsville) and other counties. The last time I checked the clock it was 2:30 am and it was still thundering and lightning constantly. Charlie has posted the puzzler for the week (for which I thank him); you might give it a try. Click on the URL in my signature line called gensoup and it'll take you to the "puzzle page". I think we have exhausted the topic of outside privies etal and can let the subject rest now. It was an interesting discussion and I think the question has been answered satisfactorily. Many of my generation remember them quite well without too much fondness .... See you tomorrow ...
