Apparently, I already read this book in 2012<\/a>. I will leave it for you to speculate, gentle reader, whether I bought a second copy of the book or if one of my children took it from my already-read shelves, browsed it, and left it on the side table where I leave books to browse while watching football. Either one would explain how I came to read this book again during a football game this weekend, but to resolve it truly would probably involve me organizing my read shelves which were briefly organized when I first moved to Nogglestead and had a lot of book shelf room relative to the books I owned, but that time has passed.<\/p>\nAt any rate, to recap, again: It’s a collection of “Midwestern” sayings, sometimes in vernacular that isn’t necessarily this part of the Midwest or Wisconsin or Minnesota, accompanied by clip art. I said in 2012:<\/p>\n
They skew a little northern Midwest than Missouri, and they\u2019re about small town living more than big city quips. A couple of them ring true, with a deeper understanding and statement of small town America than others.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Still true, although perhaps even more true from my current perspective than they had been when I was young in those days, a mere pup of forty.<\/p>\n
