I\u2019ll go ahead and crank up the old clich\u00e9 generator. See if you can select the one you think would be most appropriate to the current situation: I\u2019m like a dog with a bone; I’m pulling a thread from the sweater; I’m beating a dead horse, or all of the above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The American Meridian continues to bedevil me. We\u2019re trying to organize an American Meridian Gathering<\/a> of Circulars.[1]<\/sup><\/a> Right now I\u2019m planning to wait until after the holidays. That’s because it’s a busy time of the year and also because it will provide Catholicgauze of Geographic Travels an opportunity to participate. He is about to leave on a trip to Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think a number of readers also had similar nagging feelings about the meridian. We all recognized the problem occurs because the American Meridian shifted a small amount over time. It doesn’t make much of a difference when viewed from a distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
