Shorts leading to questions

Thanks to the House of Roses folks, I got to play a game that had goofy dino-daschunds with toupees hopping around, not to mention pickles, horny and kinky.
As usual, there were all sorts of strange statements, all completely forgotten afterward. Why do I never seem to keep those in mind later?

I wonder why the florist decided to paint the rest of the wall (untouched by the Cambridge Rindge and Latin kids' mural) a rather Pepto-Bismol pink. Perhaps it was a less hideous color when not overlayed on dark brown?

I've been having dreams I remember when I wake up; that hasn't happened for a while. I wonder if it's a sign that I'm caught up on sleep?

Really

It's unlikely I'm going to open some spam with the subject line "excretion", even if the sender does seem to be named Hye Santa.

Harper's index

My mom subscribed to Harper's when I was growing up, and I was always fascinated by the Index page, which was just a listing of numbers, interesting numbers, carefully juxtaposed, or interesting due to current events. There were articles, too, but it was always the Index I turned to first. Now Harper's is online, and so is the Index. Also nice is that with one click you can see their sources.
