Snow day

My 4:30 p.m. class got cancelled because of the weather.  Now to make good use of the time (to get some work done):
____________________________________
4:57 p.m.  Jon Kenny's crazy version of "Big Rock Candy Mountain"  :)

4:59 p.m.  The title of chapter 13, "Fixing the Nets", makes me think of the poem "The Purse-Seine" by Robinson Jeffers.

5:07 p.m.  The nets turn out to be a mixed metaphor.  First "... he will be fluttering in our net as helpless as one of his own butterflies," and then "... whether we have caught our big, lean-jawed pike, or whether he has got through the meshes."  Is it a butterfly net, or is it a fishing net?

5:18 p.m.  Done  :)  More tomorrow.
