F. Y. I.

Quotable
by  Thornton Wilder, American playwright and novelist (1897-1975)
"We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures."

Still on the Books
In Spokane, Washington, TV's may not be bought on Sundays.

By the Numbers
Americans consume some 400 million pounds of cranberries a year, including 20 percent of that total during Thanksgiving week.

Almost Cast
Christopher Reeve was considered for the role of Westley, which went to Cary Elwes, in "The Princess Bride."

Cure of Old
Pumpkins were once recommended for removing freckles and curing snake bites.

So Called
Young male and female turkeys are called jakes and jennies; they grow up to be toms and hens.
