CORN

A quickie today for our battle between countries of red-white-and-blue flags: who has the better corn? Answer: Easy, the U.S. of A. Mmmm, corn on the cob. That's one of the first things I'll eat when I get back to the 'States. And it will be prime corn season, too. U.S. back up to a 2-point lead (8.5 - 6.5).

Link of the Day: For any Lost fans like myself out there, I personally prescribe to "the Time Travel" theory that helps make some sense out of this perplexing saga, and also exercises the part of my brain which used to know a little bit about quantum mechanics.

French Vocab for the Day: instead of having a garage sale, the French have "une vide-grenier": literally, "an attic-emptying."
