Hi, Don:
I thought I'd try this on the Journal. Seldom do. Use it if it suits your site:
Dear Editor:
Minister Iris Evans is a courageous woman, saying as she has, how advantaged those children are whose one parent remains at home to look after them in formative years.
I think that was her message. For with that I completely agree.
Such a courageous woman will have no difficulty baring her soul to citizens, on the extent to which she has succeeded in her struggle to make this as practically possible for the less advantaged majority of parents.
Or, alternatively, to what extent she may have failed miserably.
I look forward to that revelation. Perhaps the Journal can assist.
Sincerely,
G. Deane Doucette,
St. Albert

Re: Lucky Schoolboy
Finds Seven Leaf
CloverI couldn't resist answering.
What is a four leaf clover?
As a child in the UK ( 50+ years ago) Mom and I took our two dogs for a long walk each evening (about five miles) and I can remember one year in particular where there were so many multi leafed clover that we would only pick four leafed ones that night.
Then we would see how many we found and on the next night we would only pick ones with five or more leaves.
You should never look for them. If you are very observant you seem to notice something that doesn't look right, stop, take a closer look, and there it is.
The most leaves we found on one clover was 10. No proof remains, as we did not press them or anything.
The same plant will keep on producing multi leafed clovers so the scientific part of my brain wonders if it is a mutation and wonders why the same plant can produce mostly three leafed clovers but some of the more unusual ones.
This was long before genetic modification. Now there's something you could apply for a grant for to study the multi-leafed clover phenomenon!
No Name Please
