I was busily deleting e-mails, when one from Nita Hearn gave me pause. I have absolutely no idea of whom she is, but her subject "duck rant cart bout barrow" piqued my interest. Could it be that she's from my tribe? (Before I knew what a Blue Tooth was, I thought that those people chattering away into thin air were definitely of my tribe). So I opened the mail and here's what I saw:

How fabulous is that?  I like to consider myself pretty savvy with languages, especially the Romantics, but this has me stumped.  I mean, there are all those English words and others where Latin roots may apply.  Is it the "Universal Language" that I've heard tell of?  I feel like an illiterate adult who knows that a stop sign means "stop", but has yet to crack the code of the alphabet.  If I were any good at those coded word scrambles, I might have a crack at it.  But the mystery is rather nice.  I bet the real translation is far more pedestrian than where my mind takes it.
