Chance of showers 60 percent. Yesterday's soar throat seems to have gone away. Work ---------------------------------------- - Order spare EdgeRouter Done. - Call Sherri to say hello Done. - Configure router for HS - Follow up with Dell about upcoming shipments (Count units for June 15.) Twenty-minute walk at lunch. A few rain drops. Flowers. Seemed like a lot more cars on the road. Home ---------------------------------------- Vacuumed.

Where did the phrase "abroad in the land" come from? King James? Shakespeare? Marx? Sherlock Holmes? https://www.biblestudytools.com/jeremiah/51-46-compare.html > The Complete Jewish Bible > Jeremiah 51:46 (CJB) Don't be fainthearted, don't be afraid of the rumors spreading abroad in the land. One year one rumor comes, the next year another one, rumors of violence in the land and rulers fighting rulers. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2002/jul/12/artsfeatures.arthurconandoyle > "There's a new spirit abroad in the land," he tells a baffled looking Watson just before the final credits of Sherlock Holmes Faces Death (1943). "The old days of grab and greed are on their way out. We're beginning to think of what we owe the other fellow, not just what we're compelled to give him." https://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2017/11/all-fixed-for.html > And here’s one from the Oct. 21, 1909, Hammond (IN) Times: “Christ Brookham of 3619 Elm street reports to the police that duck thieves are abroad in the land, and that he is shy two nice fat ones, and was compelled to eat a third one when he had his mouth all fixed for chicken.” https://www.christianity.com/church/church-history/timeline/1801-1900/john-brights-most-eloquent-speech-11630498.html > On this day, February 23, 1855, John Bright, made the speech of his life. Opposing the Crimean War, he said: "The Angel of Death has been abroad throughout the land; you may almost hear the beating of his wings. There is no one, as when the first-born were slain of old, to sprinkle with blood the lintel and the two side-posts of our doors, that he may spare and pass on; he takes his victims from the castle of the noble, the mansion of the wealthy, and the cottage of the poor and lowly." https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Exodus-5-12/ > So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw. The 1855 John Bright one is maybe the closest in sense.
