Some of these could be prompts.

You hate to lose.

Even diet.

Makes you see paying your bills

as a pain.

Why be abnormal?

Turn it around.

Accept authority.

Step up or down.

Turn it aground.

Meaning?

Just what is?

Reading his name is one thing, but how was it pronounced?

The big pink mansard a block from our house was owned by noted shipbuilder and designer Caleb Stetson Huston from the mid-1850s until his death in 1887. He also served two terms in the state legislature.

My question remains, how was it pronounced: Huss-tun, Who-stun, or Hugh-stun?
