Buffistas

I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Nothing sounds good. I'm so tired of feeling bad.

This will only mean something to people who lived in the Midwest during a certain era, but I discovered on Jeopardy tonight that P.E.O. finally revealed what those damn initials stand for. I tried for years to get that out of members.

Paternal Elk/Eagle Order?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Elks are BPOE - Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Grandpa Weed was an Elk, but I know the initials mostly from seeing the signs at various city limits saying what unions and lodges are in town.

I'm not familiar with P.E.O. but I have never lived in the Midwest, so there you go.

Yeah, that's what they SAY it stands for.

They still haven't revealed the secret rituals.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's what they say NOW.

I've never heard of PEO before, and now am fascinated, and enjoy the speculation that it stands for Protect Each Other.

Watching NOVA on lightning sprites (ionosphere flashes above strong lightning strike, first definitively documented in 1989) SO FUCKING AWESOME. We're only just beginning to figure them out! There are more things on heaven and earth, Horatio...

Women who you would never believe would drink the Kool-Aid refused to reveal anything about PEO.
