End-of-Summer Clearout

Hang up your seersucker,
Shelve your whites.
Get ready for
Some chilly nights

(One of the forgotten Wordsworth poems)

"Now! Just in time for autumn yard clean-up, a remarkable, noise-free, pollution-free instrument for gathering leaves! Get ready for--The Rake! Yes, now you can deal with fallen leaves without endangering yourself by (a) inhaling toxic exhaust fumes and (b) infuriating your neighbors with ear-splitting noise! Phone now, to the number on your screen--only $29.95, for The Rake! But wait--there's more! Phone right now, and we'll include a free bag of leaves! That's right--the Revolutionary Garden Rake and a bag of hand-picked, multi-colored, only slightly mouldy leaves for only $29.95! Call now! Not available in stores."

Report from the 3-Day Novel front: Several grammatical casualties, including split infinitives, dangling participles and fractured syntax.

Finally, we wish to apologize to Stephen Harper and John Baird for posting those intimate photos on-line.
