have been slapped into the flesh
as much as an inch or an inch

We haven't heard the usual
summertime conversation over
the coffee counter for the past
forty-eight hours, and for good
reason Our comparatively mild
weather has taken turn for the

having first entered into politics
in Wisconsin where he was soon

with much suspicion for his &C
