Regarding point one:
I guess that's wha...Lien,<br /><br />Regarding point one:<br />I guess that's what I get for trying to expand my vocabulary. I thought the word I wanted was 'detrius' as well, but, the thing is, my spell-checker keeps red-lining it. I share your concern about the implication of organic detrius, but, after some research, I believe some of the secondary meanings may suffice. In any case, the possibility of children playing with organic detritus invokes an image that may be even more troubling than the image I was trying to describe. Maybe I'll try an alternative sentence or two.<br />Regarding Point 2:<br />If you've been sponsoring that walkway, not unlike civic organizations that pick up litter...well, you've missed quite a lot of litter.<br />Regarding Point 3:<br />I duct taped a pack of cigarettes under the rim of the porta-potty. Probably no-one will think to look for them there owing to all that organic detritus.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09318559366411269563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4523119069927007782.post-59694886026299330942010-07-19T12:20:16.038-07:002010-07-19T12:20:16.038-07:001. I think "detrius" was the word you we...1. I think "detrius" was the word you were looking for not "detritus" Which I think implies Organic detrius. <br />2. Your reference to me as likely thief and vagrant WAS rather uncharitable. I've sponsored that walkway ever since I lost my job with the city not unlike civic organizations sponsor sections of the highway and pick up the litter.<br />3. I watched your truck to make sure no broke in. That should be worth a couple of bucks to you. Right? or some cigarettes. I'm just sayin.......If you feel like you wanna make things right I'll be here all week.<br /> Lien SchmidtgoldAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
