Fair to middling.
2006-08-11
August 11th already? Holy crap. Where does it go?

Okay, on topic, now. I love etymology and if there was a living to be made there, I would probably enjoy that career. Unfortunately, I'll have to settle for becoming BizB - Esq.

A friend on one of my forums used the term, fair to middlin which I had previously beleived to be fair to midland. So, when I saw his wording, I jumped into BizB - Etymologist mode. Now, I know. And, so do you.

On our way to CP, BBCK and I made a side trip to look at the house that burned. The only thing still standing was the chimney.

Those poor* people lost everything.

* When I used that phrase (those poor people..) speaking to BBCK, she said, "Oh, they were poor, too? That's sad." I had to explain that these people had a house on the lake and that the property alone, even without a house standing on it, was worth way more than everything we own. These people were by no means "poor".

She doesn't look very happy at all, does she? Can you believe that the Gemini is 28 years old?

That boggles the mind.

Jeruselem Twp. Out near the Bono curve. It was on Lagoon Dr - here's a map of where.

*link*

I sent the pics to WTOL, too. They called me shortly after that and made sure the pics were of the fire they were covering (they were). I fell asleep before the news, so I have no idea if they used them or not.

I hear that that fair has a great steak and kidney pie!!!

Not that I would ever eat kidney (except in my bologna, where I can't see it and have no choice if I'm hungry)

you understood it from context, but this seems fairly odd use of Midland. Maybe in an alterante universe "Midland" is a very average county in England that had a "Fair" that was worth mentioning. That sounds about right...

BizB       Fri Aug 11 03:22:16 PM
I guess I thought it meant fair to somewhere around the middle of the scale. Which, isn't far from the real meaning.

Just curiously, what did you think "fain to midland" might have said about the quality of someone's work or health
