I’ll start: **There is a distinct lack of succinct communication in my precinct, as if it were extinct, and that’s against my better instincts.** ---

Stumbling, I grumbled to myself, and succumbed to that tumbledown feeling that in my bumbling way I had fumbled the thread. The realization was quite humbling. ---
