Common sense isn't.
A
really big flying bug
landed on the screen door outside in the patio area while I was
watering. From the size of the screen mesh, screen structure, and
vertical blinds behind the sliding door, you can see it was probably 6
to 10 inches in wing span. Was it a small bird?
A
harvest of Jalapena and chile peppers "nearly fills" my container on
the kitchen table. From typical spice container in upper right, you can
see the Jalapenos are 2-3 inches long, and chiles are 1-2 inches. How
hot will the salsa be?

| Quote of the moment |
| I acknowledge, in the ordinary course of government, that the exposition of the laws and Constitution devolves upon the judicial; but I beg to know upon what principle it can he contended that any one department draws from the Constitution greater powers than another, in marking out the limits of the powers of the several departments. The Constitution is the charter of the people in the government; it specifies certain great powers as absolutely granted, and marks out the departments to exercise them. If the constitutional boundary of either be brought into question, I do not see that any one of these independent departments has more right than another to declare their sentiments on that point. |
