Using MS Word at the library. MS Word replaced 'la cuisson' with 'la caisson': MS Word continues to stink. Not even 'le caisson'

'Ply' again (τρόπος, on the other hand, seems to me a way of turning that can turn around 180°. Not a fold or a layering. Of course I'm influenced by the French pli, so perhaps I can be forgiven. Languages bleeding into one another).

Denby too, in his June 29, '26, essay discreetly endorses Wilson's 'complicated'; the longer I think about it, the more I'm inclined to like it. These days I think of English as a quickly shifting ensemble. Not a day without a new, hitherto unaccepted use of the word 'rupture'

Clever repetition of the word 'complicated'; we do ply, play, live in complicated, twisted, plaited, pleated, braided times.

The nor’easter lashing Nantucket with wind and rain this weekend has uncovered the remains of a shipwreck along the island’s south shore. The fragment is likely from the 19th century schooner Warren Sawyer, a wooden ship that wrecked near Miacomet Beach on December 22, 1884.

Nerval praising Ludwig I's love for painters. One of his painter friends was Georg(e) Dury, who became a Nashvillian after 1848. But Dury named his children with royal names -- not Liberté or Égalité. Hint hint.

Sea Bright, NJ has a wall to the ocean. But flooding, as expected, came from the river. I bicycled there from my campground further north in the summer of 2019.

Crews have rescued several people by boat and high water trucks in Sea Bright, New Jersey. Ocean Avenue has been inundated by coastal flooding from the Shrewsbury River. #njwx #noreaster
