Your DAILY Companion From the Almanac Editors
Let us walk in the white snow
In a soundless space;
With footsteps quiet and slow,
At a tranquil pace,
Under veils of white lace.
–Elinor Wylie (1885–1928) | | | Question of the Day
What is the diameter of Earth, and how does it compare to that of Venus? – Answer | | Puzzle of the Day
I am a caller at every home where you may meet, For daily I perambulate along each street. Take one letter from me and still you will see. I’m the same as before, as I’ll always be, Take two letters from me, or three or four. I’ll still be the same as I was before. In fact, I can tell you that all my letters you may take, Yet of me nothing else can you make. – Answer | | | ADVERTISEMENT Take Your Pick!
