Calmly We Walk Through This April's Day
Calmly we walk through this April's day,
Metropolitan poetry here and there,
In the park sit pauper and rentier,
The screaming children, the motor-car
Fugitive about us, running away,
Between the worker and the millionaire
Number provides all distances,
It is Nineteen Thirty-Seven now,
Many great dears are taken away,
What will become of you and me
(This is the school in which we learn...)
Besides the photo and the memory?
(...that time is the fire in which we burn.)
(This is the school in which we learn...)
What is the self amid this blaze?
What am I now that I was then
Which I shall suffer and act again,
The theodicy I wrote in my high school days
Restored all life from infancy,
The children shouting are bright as they run
(This is the school in which they learn . . .)
Ravished entirely in their passing play!
(...that time is the fire in which they burn.)
Avid its rush, that reeling blaze!
Where is my father and Eleanor?
Not where are they now, dead seven years,
But what they were then?
No more? No more?
From Nineteen-Fourteen to the present day,
Bert Spira and Rhoda consume, consume
Not where they are now (where are they now?)
But what they were then, both beautiful;
Each minute bursts in the burning room,
The great globe reels in the solar fire,
Spinning the trivial and unique away.
(How all things flash! How all things flare!)
What am I now that I was then?
May memory restore again and again
The smallest color of the smallest day:
Time is the school in which we learn,
Time is the fire in which we burn.

If it's old dry wood you may want a full depth pilot hole just to keep the wood from splitting. There are different sized phillips head and you may not have the right size. but it could just be the awkward angle, as you mention. If you can set the clutch on your driver, set it lower to get just enough torque and allow it to slip before it starts spinning in the head of the screw. But if you don't mind the look, a square drive screw, as you noted, is probably your best solution.

Yeah; I got a snake-bite just the other day with a deflected staple.

When my youngest daughter moved out I had a gear room for a while. Then I moved to a one bedroom-studio type apartment. Now it's all stuffed into a gear closet.

Geek needed
in Spray
You hand in your ticket
And you go watch the geek
Who immediately walks up to you
When he hears you speak
And says, "How does it feel
To be such a freak?"
And you say, "Impossible"
As he hands you a bone
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

SICK!!!!
Been up there a couple times but, of course, only in the summer, and my understanding is, as you say, that the north peak is now the highest.
Outstanding accomplishment.

My impression of Starbucks is that it is the McDonalds of the coffee industry.
