[PW] size of a pork barrel- corrections

[Hadden, Robert L ERDC-TEC-VA]

	I stand corrected. 
	Actually, I was lucky to get even the author and title correct. I
find that as I get older, I'm shedding bits and nits of information here and
there, so that things I once knew I've forgotten, and things that were once
clear are now vague, jumbled together or just plain screwed up.
	Of course, this fits right in with library theory. It is not
important that the librarian know a fact. It is only important that the
librarian know where to find the correct fact. 
	When I start losing that skill, it will be time for me to leave the
profession, and to fulfill my life time goal of traveling back and forth
across the country in a rusty old pickup truck with a camper on it, and a
mongrel dog for company. 
	However, already I keep forgetting that my wife may have something to
say about that retirement goal. And the truck. And the camper. And the dog...

Tweedle-dee-dee and Tweedle-dee-dum, 'Pork barrel' is one of those terms that
means what it means to the person who said it means thus and so."
 
Not to be pedantic about a casual reference, but the two Alice characters are
named Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum, and the character responsible for "A word
means exactly what I choose it to mean--nothing more and nothing less" is
neither of these two, but Humpty Dumpty.
