About ending a sentence with a preposition: There is a story I read somewhere about Winston Churchill during WW II. His speeches had to be reviewed by a censor, to be sure no military secrets were inadvertently revealed. One censor had the temerity to correct his grammar, so that a sentence did not end with a preposition. Churchill is reported to have said to Parliament, This is interference up with which I will not put! (Don't know if it's true, but it's a good story.)
Don't take this the wrong way, I love your meanderings. But I like it when they have more....kick, like today. Sometime they just seem to be ripped from CNN, Yahoo, or some other lame mainstream news source. I like it when you draw our attention to stuff that maybe we are more likely to have missed. With that said I will try to engage with migratory birds and stuff like that a little more😄
Thank you Scott for your Saturday meanderings.

Also, I happen to like the "lame mainstream" media, especially CNN.
I hear ya, but my guess is that many folks have also already seen them.
Jim, You can blame the boring meanderings on me (Kris, Scot's wife) who picks them up from lame mainstream news sources".
