Penny is wise

How I love my sharp-eyed readers.
Penny from Kennett Square pointed out in an email that I should have used "farther" instead of "further" in my item a few weeks back about the bicyclist I saw on a usually deserted West Marlborough road: "He must have turned around and come back down, because maybe a half mile further along he zoomed past me, waving."
She's absolutely right, and to think that I call myself a grammar queen. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? My readers, obviously! Thank you, Penny!
