   That story about the newly-arrived-from-Australia store manager who   
   laid on barbecue equpment for the Christmas sale is obviously made   
   from the purest whole cloth, but you really could enjoy a barbecue   
   here today.   
      
   True,it's overcast, but it's cloudy-bright, not gloomy like yesterday.   
   I was surprised, when I went out for the mail long after sunset, to   
   find the twilight much brighter than usual.  I suppose high clouds   
   were still intercepting some sunlight.   
      
   We're being traditional:  I'm staying inside tomorrow and baking a   
   game hen.   I think I'll split it down the spine and drape it over a   
   mound of dressing, and cover the breast with bacon to keep it from   
   drying out.   
      
   I could put freshly-picked thyme,oregano, marjoram,and parsley into   
   the dressing if I wanted to.   
      
   I have winter-onion scallions, but they are too strong to serve raw.   
   Also a lot of trouble to clean, and very wasteful since only the   
   innermost sprout is good to eat.  But I have several unwanted clumps.
