    And if the jar weren't sealed, water would have seeped in and extinguished the flame. Moral of the story: Candle lights should never set sail!!

    This is how I felt before the election results. Good one, Susie!

    Short and sweet, but full of nuance. Very difficult form, I think, but you do it superbly here, Susie.
