Spider in car, some agitation. || The periodic table of tools. || Which party is the aggressor? || “Goes in a lady’s handbag… ideal for picnics.” || “Stay proud,” he said. || “Children with liberal parents more likely to suffer from mental health problems.” || A possible explanation for why cyclists are unloved. || Local colour. || Lively scenes. || At last, a solution to truancy. || Model citizen. || Short quiz. || Remembrance, you say. || The progressive retail experience, parts 524, and 525. || The pipe-smoking woman. || Pleasing habitats, a thread. || Transportation issues. || Well, frankly, you’d never tire of this. || The times, they are a-changin’. || Sir, your mental health problems are not her responsibility. || The freshness can’t be faulted. || And finally, with the holidays looming, some festive scenes.
