Today...Hi Donald, I always like your daily titles. Today's is evocative, vernacular. I think my grandmother, born in 1901 (one of The Greatest Generation) used the term "letterbox". Haven't heard it since. I wish I could ask her if Creature of the Black Lagoon ever made it to the theater in her tiny Ohio farm town. But I'll bet she went to a more than a few 4-H Club meetings in her day (she had 11 children)! <BR/>Enjoyed your write-up.
