This year, my brother-in-law Charlie Brind caught two muskies the first evening, small but comely, a propitious sign - except that one of the fish bit Charlie on the finger as he worked the hook loose. After that, nothing...
...According to the most recent analysis, an electrical short circuit caused the center-wing fuel tank on the Boeing 747 to explode. But beyond that general consensus, nobody knows exactly why. Except, of course, the rabble-rousers: Federal investigators, who've spent much of the last four years up to their elbows in this convoluted case, bristle at conspiracy theorists' continued accusations that the NTSB and FAA are covering up the true cause of the crash.

The buns were gently toasted, and the meat patties were thick for the genre. The large-cut lettuce -"hand-leafed every day" - was fresh, and the onions fresher. Maybe too much so; their flavor stood out a little too much...
