Dear Editor,
Upon coming across a ‘weird’ article by Alex Allen, I decided to look up weird in my Webster’s dictionary and it said: “fate, destiny; soothsayer, magical, unearthly, mysterious, odd, fantastic” to name a few adjectives. Further on, we were referred to being ‘rather normal’. So, I looked up normal in said dict and found that we were ‘perpendicular, regular, occurring naturally’ and I started to feel better about myself as I enjoy being perpendicular, rather than horizontal and regular rather than constipated. But as the writer referred himself as an ‘outsider’, I of course consulted my weber and discovered he is ‘a person not a member of some group’, but, ‘a contender not favored to win’. My humble conclusion therefore is: It is our destiny to remain regularly perpendicular to horizontal Hornby and leave the outsider to remain a contender between a rock and the Salish Sea. With love, Bob Morley
