Those who come here for cogent commentary may be disappointed with<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
today’s posting.  A long afternoon nap has only increased my drowsiness,<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
leaving me unable to work up either a head of pundit steam or a flow of <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
haiku inspiration.  <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>

\"napper  I was about to panic, since I need to head <\/FONT><\/FONT>out shortly <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
for Sunday dinner <\/FONT>with friends, until I turned to <\/FONT>my trusty StatCounter<\/A> <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
Came From page, which yielded <\/FONT>two interesting entries for our Inadvertent <\/FONT><\/DIV>

\n
to this<\/EM> Google query: <\/FONT>what does it mean if you get your period a week early<\/FONT><\/A>>, <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
even though this<\/A> post was the #2 result out more than 16 million.  <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
<\/FONT> <\/DIV>
\n
On the other hand, if you searched the word welched<\/A>> today at Yahoo!, <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
and clicked the #1 result, you’d find our post<\/FONT><\/A> “getting welched,” which had a <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
few haiku by Michael Dylan Welch<\/FONT><\/A> and a tiny blurb on etymology and political <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
correctness.  Here’s one of Michael’s poems from that post (click<\/FONT><\/A> to see the <\/FONT><\/DIV>
