The parade tonight was washed out. A few elephants walked by in their elephant raincoats, and then the thing was called off.
I told my other travellers (2 others on this tour) about food, and they gave me these two words to work on:
NURSERY FOOD--British comfort food. OED has it from Agatha Christie (1949). What does the full-text TIMES OF LONDON and NEW YORK TIMES have?
HALF RUNNERS--Beans. Not in OED. DARE? Will this show up in the American Periodical Series, which has 19th century agricultural periodicals?
