If you ever worry about keeping a stupid joke in your writing, know that J. R. R. Tolkien calls two founding ancient hobbits “Marco” and “Blanco” in like the first 20 pages of LOTR.

Morning report: Frost again, but the crocuses are emerging. Blue jays are ravaging the bird feeder. A mated pair of cardinals have staked out the pea trellis. The trunks of trees in woods are bare where hungry deer have stripped them. The first signs of trillium and glory of the snow have arrived.

Morning Report:
The sun was egg yolk yellow coming through the curtains. The sky is a cloudless sea. The chickadees and tits are crowding the feeder. A pair of robins is building nest in bare vines of the arbor. The catty ice is gone and so all are all the holly berries. No long underwear needed!

there are a couple things about this call for submissions that made my eyebrows shoot up. implying "the outline" (founded 2016) was a part of the "early internet" is at the top of that list
