Death race 2009

Grass King has entered the final straight, and desperance has challenged me to a race to the finish.
I'm going in. Please send crisps (chips, for those of you speaking US English).

Metricity

New words today: 1279.
First line of the day: He had to tread carefully to avoid them, to avoid spilling his burden.

Endgame is in place....

desperance, running total is now 147,387, and I'm guessing another chapter and a half to go.

Skirt of the day: green cord.
Thought of the day: just because you agree with someone, it doesn't necessarily mean you, or they, are right. This is a propos of nothing in particular, it just drifted into my head this morning.
